ABSTRACT
This paper studies the subset-selection approach of the ranking and selection procedures of choosing among k arbitrary systems or alternatives. Ranking and selection problems have customarily been treated using two different approaches, namely, the indifference-zone approach and the subset-selection approach. An expository survey of indifference-zone approach for selecting the best of k systems has been given in Goldsman (1984a). In this paper, we present a number of fixed-sample-size and sequential procedures based on subset-selection approach.

On selecting the best of K systems: An expository survey of indifference-zone multinomial procedures
WSC '84: Proceedings of the 16th conference on Winter simulationWe investigate the problem of selecting the 'best' one of k arbitrary systems or alternatives. Consider one observation from each of the k systems. By 'best,' we mean that system which has the highest probability of yielding the 'most desirable' of the ...
Selecting the Best Alternative Based on Its Quantile
A value-at-risk, or quantile, is widely used as an appropriate investment selection measure for risk-conscious decision makers. We present two quantile-based sequential procedures—with and without consideration of equivalency between alternatives—for ...
A pre-selecting base kernel method in multiple kernel learning
The pre-defined base kernel greatly affects the performance of multiple kernel learning (MKL), but selecting the pre-defined base kernel still has no theoretical guidance. In practice, it is very difficult to select a set of appropriate base kernels ...
