2001 journal article

Convergence properties of the batch means method for simulation output analysis

INFORMS JOURNAL ON COMPUTING, 13(4), 277–293.

By: N. Steiger* & . Wilson n

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.
