Talk:Variance reduction

Incomplete and unbalanced entry[edit]

This is a strange article. It introduces a complex subject (variance reduction), describes it as consisting of 5 parts, but then only discusses one of these parts (common random numbers) while linking to other wikipedia entries for the other four. Perhaps 'common random numbers' should be split off into its own article. Encyclops (talk) 18:33, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree the title of this section should be "Variance Reduction by Common Random Numbers". It is a misleading title that could lead to confusion and may cause users to miss the vast body of information on Variance Reduction methods on Wikipedia. It is a simple fix and should be regarded as a priority. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.8.190.54 (talk) 08:51, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What about umbrella sampling?[edit]

I don't know much about different variance reduction methods, or even about umbrella sampling, but from what I understand umbrella sampling is a variance reduction method, so why isn't it mentioned in the article? Is there a reason for that? —Kri (talk) 02:09, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
