Let Yı, Y2, Ys, and Y4 be independent, identically distributed random variables from a mean u and a variance 02. Consider a different estimator of u: W=Y+Y2+2Y3+ Y 00 This is an example of a weighted average of the Y a) Show that W is a linear estimator. b) Is W an unbiased estimator of u? Show that it is - or it isn't (E(W) = Find the variance of W and compare it to the variance of the sample...
Suppose that X1, X2,.... Xn and Y1, Y2,.... Yn are independent random samples from populations with the same mean μ and variances σ., and σ2, respectively. That is, x, ~N(μ, σ ) y, ~ N(μ, σ ) 2X + 3Y Show that is a consistent estimator of μ.
3. You have two independent random samples: XiXX from a population with mean In and variance σ2 and Y, Y2, , , , , Y,n from a population with mean μ2 and variance σ2. Note that the two populations share a common variance. The two sample variances are Si for the first sample and Si for the second. We know that each of these is an unbiased estimator of the common population variance σ2, we also know that both of...
