===Properties=== | |||
====Unbiased==== | |||
An estimator <math>\hat{\theta}</math> is unbiased for <math>\theta</math> if <math>E[\hat{\theta}] = \theta</math> | |||
* <math>X_n</math> is unbiased for <math>E[X]</math> but is not consistent | |||
====Consistent==== | |||
An estimator <math>\hat{\theta}</math> is consistent for <math>\theta</math> if it converges in probability to <math>\theta</math> | |||
* Example: <math>\frac{1}{n}\sum (X-\bar{X})^2</math> is a consistent estimator | |||
: for <math>\sigma^2</math> for <math>N(\mu, \sigma^2</math> but is not unbiased. | |||
