Batch size effects on the efficiency of control variates in simulation
1989
European Journal of Operational Research
This paper considers the combined use of control variates and batching for estimating the steady-state mean of an infinite-horizon process via simulation. ...
Properties of the point and interval estimators from such a procedure are derived as functions of the number of batches and the number of control variates when the total sample size is fixed. ...

Optimization via simulation: A review
1994
Annals of Operations Research
We review techniques for optimizing stochastic discrete-event systems via simulation. ...
In practice, the pooled variance could be used to estimate the additional number of replications needed to make a final determination. where J i and s have the same meaning as in the MCA procedure. ...
In particular, the independence assumption would rule out the implementation of powerful variance reduction techniques such as common random numbers and control variates. ...
