摘要：

For Metropolis Monte Carlo simulations in statistical physics, efficient, easy-to-implement, and unbiased statistical estimators of thermodynamic properties are based on the transition dynamics. Using an Ising model example, we demonstrate (problem-specific) variance reductions compared to conventional histogram estimators. A proof of variance reduction in a microstate limit is presented.
