Stochastic simulation is a very important tool for mathematical modelling. However, it is difficult to check the correctness of a stochastic simulator, since any two realizations from a single model will typically be different.
We have developed a test suite of stochastic models that have been solved either analytically or using numerical methods. This allows the accuracy of stochastic simulators to be tested against known results. The test suite is already being used by a number of stochastic simulator developers.
The latest version of the test suite can be obtained from http://www.calibayes.ncl.ac.uk/Resources/dsmts/ and is licensed under GNU Lesser General Public License.
随机模拟是数学建模的一个非常重要的工具。然而,由于单个模型的任意两个实现通常会有所不同,因此很难检查随机模拟器的正确性。
我们开发了一套随机模型测试套件,这些模型已通过解析方法或数值方法求解。这使得可以根据已知结果测试随机模拟器的准确性。许多随机模拟器开发者已经在使用该测试套件。
