SCHEMES - STATISTICS
INTRODUCTION
In Statistic we always start from data and we try to get some informations in order to learn something about the phenomenon. ⇒ we want to MAKE INFERENCE
- (x1, x2, ..., xn), n ≥ 1 ⇒ SAMPLE (realizations)
- (X1, X2, ..., Xn), n ≥ 1 ⇒ RANDOM SAMPLE (random variables)
We assume that the random sample comes from the model Xn∼FX(., θ), θ∈Θ. It means that we assume that the random variables X1, X2, ..., Xn are INDEPENDENT and IDENTICALLY DISTRIBUTED, following a model parameterized by θ.
NOTICE THAT if I fix θ I know everything about the model.
What do we want to do?
→ Starting from data we want to estimate the parameter θ, in order to be able to make inference on the population.
EXAMPLE:
Xn∼N(μ,σ2) , (μ,σ2)∈ℝ x ℝ+
In this example the parameters are two: θ = (μ, σ2)So, θ is bi-dimensional (and in general it can be n-dimensional)
Now, let's consider a random sample (X1, ..., Xn) from Xn∼FX(., θ) , θ∈Θand suppose that the sample mean X̄n = 1/n ∑ Xi is an estimator for θ.
But, is it a good estimator? Could we have a better estimator?
We'll try to answer to this kind of questions.
First of all: What is an estimator?
- An ESTIMATOR θ̂ = f(X1, ..., Xn) is a function of the random variables X1, ..., Xn
- We want to study his distributional properties
- Examples of estimators: 1) SAMPLE MEAN 2) SAMPLE VARIANCE
The best we can do is to find the distribution of the estimator,but it is almost impossible.
EXCEPTION:
Since the Gaussian model is a particular case we are able to find the distribution of the sample mean and the sample variance.
So, let's assume that we know the model Xn∼FX(., θ), θ∈Θ and the estimator θ̂ = f(X1, ..., Xn).
We need to know if the estimator is good, that means if it has some specific desirable properties.
In particular, we'll introduce tools and methods that allow us to get estimators with good properties in order to be a good estimator.
