A simulation approach to study planning for large-scale epidemiological surveys.
In study planning for large-scale epidemiological studies with multi-type examinations, important resource questions have to be answered, e.g. study horizons, personnel and other resources and cost estimates are needed. A simulation approach for scheduling that uses relevant parameters to simulate examination times gives simulation distributions that can be utilised to answer planning questions.
