Thanks for the links. I do not have in mind any general de-biasing technique that I would expect to work online (or offline, for that matter).

On de-biasing: a reminder that anyone who does have in mind a de-biasing technique can submit it to CFAR to get $500 (if adopted as an exercise; otherwise $50 if it's good enough to be tested):
