Properties of Estimators

Statistics:

  1. Sufficiency
  2. Un-biased
  3. Resistance
  4. Efficiency Parameters: Describe the population Describe samples. But we use it to estimate population parameters

Sample Variance as an Unbiased estimator Biased UNbiased Example population: σ μ 2 2 =

∑ (^ y − )

n

∑^ y^ =^6 μ^ =^2

( ) n y y s

= 2 2 ( ) 1 2 2 − − =

n y y s y: 1, 2, 3

n versus n-1: All permutations

  • 1,1 1.0 Sample mean Var(n) Var(n-1)
  • 1,2 1.5 .25.
  • 1,3 2.0 1.0 2.
  • 2,1 1.5 .25.
  • 2,2 2.0
  • 2,3 2.5 .25.
  • 3,1 2.0 1.0 2.
  • 3,2 2.5 .25.
  • 3,3 3.0
  • E= 2.0 .333.

Not all n-1 estimates are “better” than their n counterparts. But, on average, n-1 is superior (Unbiased). Remember

E = expected value Degrees of Freedom
