Abstract

A two timescale stochastic approximation scheme which uses coupled iterations is used for simulation-based parametric optimization as an alternative to traditional “infinitesimal perturbation analysis” schemes. It avoids the aggregation of data present in many other schemes. Its convergence is analyzed, and a queueing example is presented.
