When we fix the initial state, the expectation of interest is<br />
E[̂θ | S 0 =1]<br />
a conditional expectation, only 1 term of (1).<br />
Remember that “expectation” is a mathematical averaging process over the possible<br />
outcomes. When we sample the initial state, all initial states are possible. When we<br />
fix the initial state, only 1 initial state is possible. There<strong>for</strong>e, the probability distribution<br />
of the estimator changes, even though the results of the simulation (outcome)<br />
may be the same.<br />
