摘要:
A unifying perspective on variance reduction is presented that emphasizes broadly defined variance reduction strategies rather than specific variance reduction techniques (VRTs). The perspective is based on a new taxonomy of VRTs, which is reviewed in detail. The variance reduction problem is formulated as a constrained optimization problem, and results that guarantee the effectiveness of variance reduction strategies are summarized.
