We estimate the variance parameter of a stationary simulation-generated process using a linear combination of overlapping standardized time series (STS) area variance estimators based on different batch sizes. We establish the linear-combination estimator's asymptotic distribution, presenting analytical and simulation-based results exemplifying its potential for improvements in accuracy and computational efficiency.
