Research on Control-Variate Estimators of Variance Reduction

In the simulation experiments, Variance Reduction (VR) is an important way to raise simulation estimation efficiency, and Control Variate (CV) estimators are widely used for variance reduction. Based on much works in developing and analyzing CV estimators, this paper gives some further researches. We study control variate estimation where the control mean itself is unbiased estimated, and take both prior and auxiliary simulation replications into consideration. We focus on analyzing control variate estimator where the control variance is known, and give a compound estimator depending on simulation replications and covariances. Then we consider the efficiency combining control variate variances and replication costs.
