While these simulation models are simpler than the real  situation, they are still quite complex and time consuming to develop.  It is at this point that \n                \n                \u003cem\u003emetamodeling\u003c\/em\u003e\n                                 can be used to help build  a simulation study based on a complex model. A \n                \n                \u003cem\u003emetamodel\u003c\/em\u003e\n                                 is a  simpler, analytical model, auxiliary to the simulation model, which is  used to better understand the more complex model, to test hypotheses  about it, and provide a framework for improving the simulation study.  \n                \n                \u003cbr\u003e\n                                  The use of metamodels allows the researcher to work with a set of  mathematical functions and analytical techniques to test simulations  without the costly running and re-running of complex computer  programs. In addition, metamodels have other advantages, and as a  result they are being used in a variety of ways: model simplification,  optimization, model interpretation, generalization to other models of  similar systems, efficient sensitivity analysis, and the use of the  metamodel's mathematical functions to answer questions about different  variables within a simulation study.\n            \n            \u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9780792396482\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9781461285564\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover - 9780792396482","offer_id":50726553990,"sku":"9780792396482","price":106.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Softcover - 9781461285564","offer_id":39415687250013,"sku":"9781461285564","price":106.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/12c56c8c-f024-4519-af2b-703da84e0ada.jpg?v=1772171202","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/the-simulation-metamodel-von-linda-weiser-friedman","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
