Show a family of distributions of a statistic is complete

The two examples in this video illustrate how to show a family of distributions is complete. The first example uses the definition of complete. The second definition relies on the properties of…

Sufficient, Ancillary, and Complete: A Review

In data reduction, there are two key principles that play a role in ensuring the statistics being used are efficient in reducing the data and contain information that isn't misleading: those of…

Sufficiency and Unbiased

In the previous lesson on best unbiased estimators and the Cramer-Rao Lower Bound, the concept of sufficiency was not used. We will now consider how sufficiency is a powerful tool in our search for…

Bayes Estimators

The Bayesian approach to statistics is fundamentally different from the classical approach that we have been discussing. However, some aspects of the Bayesian approach can be quite helpful to other…

The Equivariance Principle

The previous two lessons both describe data reduction principles in the following way. A function T(x) of the sample is specified, and the principle states that if x and y are two sample points with…

Minimal Sufficiency, Ancillarity, and Completeness

In this lesson, we briefly review the concept of sufficiency and quickly move to minimal sufficiency. Following this is a brief discussion of ancillary statistics. We then focus on complete…

Sums of Random Variables from a Random Sample

When a random sample is drawn, some summary of the values is usually computed. Any well-defined summary may be expressed mathematically as a function of an n-dimension vector. The domain of that…
