Tests for Initialization Bias in Computer Simulation Experiments.

Abstract

Although may of the rules for detecting and dealing with initialization bias in computer simulation experiments are easy to understand and implement, they are nonetheless heuristic. This paper uses the theory of standardized times series to construct tests which (under certain conditions) detect significant initialization bias in a process. Previous tests for initialization bias can be viewed as special cases of the general family of tests to be presented here. (Author)
