Abstract
Initialization bias in digital simulation typically arises in estimating a steady-state statistic from replicated data. While methods have been developed to avoid this bias, such as batch means, the problem remains in some simulation contexts. This report surveys current methods for dealing with this bias and assesses their effectiveness and usefulness.
