title = "METAMODELLING: POWER, PITFALLS, AND MODEL-FREE INTERPRETATION",
abstract = "Simulation metamodels have been a valuable tool since before the term was coined. They can provide insight on system behaviour that is not obvious from the simulation model and are a computationally inexpensive proxy for the simulation model that they approximate. But fitting and using metamodels requires care. This tutorial explains the power of metamodeling, while highlighting potential pitfalls in fitting and using various metamodel technologies. Finally, a particular advantage of metamodeling is illustrated: the counterintuitive ability to provide model-free interpretation of the simulation input-output behaviour.",
