There are several properties to be considered when considering a point estimator from an asymptotic perspective. In this lesson, the concepts of consistency and efficiency are investigated. As…
This lesson reviews point estimation from a frequentist perspective. Method of moments and maximum likelihood methods are reviewed. Following that is a discussion of decision theory, optimal…
As we saw in the previous lesson, a comparison of estimators based on the mean squared error (MSE) may not yield a clear favorite. It turns out there is no "one best MSE" estimator. The…
