A method for estimating the importance function in forward Monte Carlo particle transport calculations is described. The importance function is estimated for every region of phase-space. Although subject to statistical fluctuations, the estimated importance function has proven to be a very valuable tool for selecting variance reduction parameters. Some deep penetration calculations are included to demonstrate applicability.
