New point and interval estimators for quantiles that employ a control variate are introduced. The properties of these estimators do not depend on the usual assumption of joint normality between the random variable of interest and the control. Illustrative examples for queueing and stochastic...

We consider applying the nonoverlapping batch means output analysis method in conjunction with the control-variate variance-reduction technique to estimate a steady-state multivariate mean vector. The effects of the number of batches and the number of control variates on the multivariate point...
