Description: A simulation is essentially a multi-factor statistical sampling experiment through which      approximate answers to questions about some aspect of a system or statistic are obtained.      Unfortunately the multi-factor aspect of the simulation is usually downplayed because of the      difficulties of organizing and displaying the output as a function of various factors. Some      graphical procedures using color are suggested for assessing the effect of the factors on the      output. This is done in the context of an example of a multiserver queue. Classical analysis of      variance techniques are usually not appropriate for this analysis because the data is      non-normal and the mean is seldom an adequate or complete characterization of the output.      Originator-supplied keywords: Simulation, Color graphics, Sampling experiment, Multi-factor      simulation, Multiserver queue.
