Convergence properties of the batch means method for simulation output analysis
INFORMS JOURNAL ON COMPUTING, 13(4), 277–293.
author keywords: simulation; statistical analysis; method of batch means
TL;DR:
It is suggested that in many simulation output processes, approximate joint normality of the batch means is achieved at a substantially smaller batch size than is required to achieve approximate independence; and an improved batch means method should exploit this property whenever possible.

Modeling and simulating Poisson processes having trends or nontrigonometric cyclic effects
EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF OPERATIONAL RESEARCH, 133(3), 566–582.
author keywords: simulation; stochastic processes; multiresolution estimation procedure
TL;DR:
This multiresolution procedure begins at the lowest level of resolution by estimating any long-term trend in the target counting process; then at progressively higher levels of resolution, the procedure yields estimates of the cyclic behavior associated with progressively smaller cycle lengths.

TL;DR:
Electromyographic data collected as they performed controlled trunk extension exertions were used to develop marginal distributions of trunk muscle activity as well as a 10x10 correlation matrix that described how the muscles cooperated to produce these extension torques, which were combined to generate multivariate distributions describing the coactivation of the trunk musculature.
