Abstract

This tutorial provides an overview on recent advances made in ranking and selection (R&S) for selecting the best simulated system and discusses challenges that still exist in the field. We focus on indifference-zone R&S procedures that provide a guaranteed probability of correct selection when the best system is at least a user-specified amount better than the other systems.
