Non-linear control variates for regenerative steady-state simulation [pdf]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
We assume the existence of a parameterized family of control variates that could be used in a regenerative steady-state simulation. We show how such controls can be generated in the Markov-process setting, discuss the optimization problem of searching for a good choice of parameterization, and develop a strong law and central limit theorem for the resulting estimator.
