Abstract

We examine the use of the Fourier transform to discriminate dynamic behavior differences between congested and uncongested systems. Simulation continuous time statistic 'trajectories' are converted to time series for Fourier analysis. The pattern of Fourier component magnitudes across frequencies differs for congested versus uncongested systems. We use this knowledge to explore statistical process control methods to monitor nonstationary systems for transition from uncongested to congested state and vice versa. In a sense we are monitoring dynamic metamodel parameters to detect change in the dynamic behavior of the simulation. CUSUM charts on Fourier magnitudes can detect such transitions, and preliminary results suggest that in some cases detection can be more rapid than for CUSUM charts based on queue length.
