Control variate technique: A constructive approach
The technique of control variates requires that the user identify a set of variates that are correlated with the estimation variable and whose means are known to the user. We rela...

Non-linear control variates for regenerative steady-state simulation
We assume the existence of a parameterized family of control variates that could be used in a regenerative steady-state simulation. We show how such controls can be generated in t...
