Description: A graphical test bed in which the results of a simulation experiment can be reported and analyzed is described.  The test bed is based on the regression adjusted graphics and estimation methodology developed by Heidelberger and Lewis for regenerative simulation.  From the graphics and associated numerics, the experimenter can summarize and see simultaneously relative properties, such as bias, normality and standard deviation, of several estimators of a characteristic of a population for up to 8 sample sizes.  The evolution of these properties with sample size is also displayed.  The graphics is supported on a line printer to make it and the program portable.  The technique is illustrated by two examples, one concerning the effects of changes in data distribution on the behavior of the estimated lag one serial correlation coefficient and the other concerning the relative properties of several estimators of a Gamma distribution.
