A New Variance-Reduction Technique for Regenerative Simulations of Markov Chains
We propose a new estimator for some performance measures obtained from a regenerative simulation of a discrete-time Markov chain. Our new estimator is based on the idea of generat...

The Impact of Transients on Simulation Variance Estimators
Given a stationary simulation process with unknown mean µ , interest frequently lies in, and various methods exist for, developing estimates and confidence intervals for µ . Typ...

Implementable MSE-optimal dynamic partial-overlapping batch means estimators for steady-state simulations
Estimating the variance of the sample mean from a stochastic process is essential in assessing the quality of using the sample mean to estimate the population mean which is the fu...

Anonymous Cardinality Estimation in RFID Systems with Multiple Readers
— In this paper, we study the anonymous cardinality estimation problem in radio frequency identification (RFID) systems. To preserve privacy and anonymity, each tag only transmi...

Accelerated Simulation for Pricing Asian Options
When pricing options via Monte Carlo simulations, precision can be improved either by performing longer simulations, or by reducing the variance of the estimators. In this paper, ...
