where s is the window size. Chodera's method for terminating the autocovariance function is not one of Geyer's initial sequence methods. However, we included it with the initial sequence rules (as "Initial Sequence: Chodera") due to its similarity. We also tested a variant of Geyer's initial convex sequence method where each successive variance calculation (with increasing truncation) was restricted to a gamma series (Equation ) no longer than that from the previous truncation point (named "Initial Sequence: Smoothed Lag Convex").
