Standard Errors of Mean, Variance, and Standard Deviation ...

of estimators, and they are important particularly when one compares two estimates (for example, whether one quantity is higher than the other in a statistically meaningful way). In this note we review the standard errors of frequently used estimators of the mean, variance, and standard deviation. II. NORMAL ONE SAMPLE PROBLEM Let be a random ...

1 The Pareto Distribution - University of Montana

Solving these equations yields the following estimators: α˜ = nx¯ −x 1 n(¯x−x 1) ˜k = (nα˜ −1)x 1 nα˜ 2.2 Median Estimator As far as the author knows, this is a new estimator. The idea is that in method of moments we set the sample mean equal to the theoretical mean, so here we will set the sample median equal to the theoretical ...

Chapter 2: Simple Linear Regression - Purdue University

1 The model The simple linear regression model for nobser- vations can be written as yi= β 0 +β 1xi+ei, i= 1,2,··· ,n. (1) The designation simple indicates that there is only one predictor variable x, and linear means that the model is linear in β 0 and β 1.The intercept β 0 and the slope β 1 are unknown constants, and
