We study estimators for the variance parameter sigma(2) of a stationary process. The estimators are based on weightings yield estimators that are 'first-order unbiased' for sigma (2) We derive an expression for the asymptotic variance of the new estimators; this expression is then used to obtain the first-order unbiased estimator having the smallest variance among fixed-degree polynomial weighting functions. Although our work is based on asymptotic theory, we present exact and empirical examples to demonstrate the new estimators' small-sample robustness.

Combining Standardized Time Series Area and Cramér–von Mises Variance Estimators
Goldsman, David; Kang, Keebom; Kim, Seong-Hee; Seila, Andrew F.; Tokol, Gamze (2006);We propose three related estimators for the variance parameter arising from a steady-state simulation process. All are based on combinations of standardized-time-series area and Cramér–von Mises (CvM) estimators. The first ... -
Cramer-von Mises Variance Estimators for Simulations
Goldsman, David; Kang, Keebom; Seila, Andrew F. (1991);We study estimators for the variance parameter u 2 of a stationary process. The estimators are based on weighted Cramer-van Mises statistics formed from the standardized time series of the process. Certain weightings ... -
