In the event of a simulation, what is one to make of the fact that the residuals oscillate wildly for the first few iterations, and then settle down and fall nicely. Aside from the explanations of why this happens, is a soln from such trend to be trusted as being...good/trustable or..."can't trust it, need to re-do until you obtain a decent trend from the beginning." Your thoughts people?
