Simulation Modeling for Cost Estimation

Abstract

The authors acknowledge the contribution of many individuals to both the design and construction of the model. Paul Kleindorfer and Michael Crew were instrumental to the design of the underlying econometric models. Without the inputs from the U.S. Postal Service, provided by Ross Bailey, John Reynolds and their staff, there would be no data on which to run the model. The members of the LINX DQS team turned the Postal data 1
