This paper is concerned with the assessment of the statistical efficiency of proposed regenerative simulation methods. We compare the efficiency of the ‘marked job' and ‘labelled jobs' methods for estimation of passage times in multiclass networks of queues with general service times. Using central limit theorem arguments, we show that the confidence intervals constructed for the expected value of a general function of the limiting passage time using the labelled jobs method are shorter than those obtained from the marked job method. This is consistent with intuition since the labelled jobs method extracts more passage-time information from a fixed-length simulation run.

Iglehart and Shedler (1983) prove that the ‘labelled jobs’ method for estimation of passage-time characteristics in closed multiclass networks of queues with general service times provides asymptotically shorter confidence intervals than does the ‘marked job’ method. A simple alternative proof of this result, under slightly more restrictive conditions, is given here.
