A Monte Carlo Swindle for Estimators of Location

A. M. Gross

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series C, 1973, vol. 22, issue 3, 347-353

Abstract: Savings in time and money can be achieved through the use of a Monte Carlo swindle in place of unaided experimental sampling. A description is provided of a swindle currently in use which often achieves efficiencies of several orders of magnitude in terms of the number of samples needed to achieve a given precision. Data are provided to show some efficiencies actually observed.
