Abstract

Some basic, but surprising properties of confidence intervals formed under antithetic-variates and common-random-numbers variance reduction techniques are derived. It is shown that improved point estimator performance, the primary goal of variance reduction techniques, does not necessarily imply improved interval estimator performance.
