Variance reduction is a technique used in Monte Carlo methods to improve the precision of simulation results. By reducing the variance associated with each output random variable, the simulation becomes more statistically efficient and produces smaller confidence intervals. Various techniques such as common random numbers, antithetic variates, control variates, importance sampling, stratified sampling, moment matching, conditional Monte Carlo, quasi random variables, subset simulation, and line sampling can be employed for this purpose.
