  2. German tank problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_tank_problem

    The adversary is presumed to have manufactured a series of tanks marked with consecutive whole numbers, beginning with serial number 1. Additionally, regardless of a tank's date of manufacture, history of service, or the serial number it bears, the distribution over serial numbers becoming revealed to analysis is uniform, up to the point in time when the analysis is conducted.

    If the answer is greater than a single digit, simply carry over the extra digit (which will be a 1 or 2) to the next operation. The remaining digit is one digit of the final result. Example: Determine neighbors in the multiplicand 0316: digit 6 has no right neighbor; digit 1 has neighbor 6; digit 3 has neighbor 1; digit 0 (the prefixed zero ...

  5. Point estimation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_estimation

    Most importantly, we prefer point estimators that have the smallest mean square errors. If we let T = h(X 1,X 2, . . . , X n) be an estimator based on a random sample X 1,X 2, . . . , X n, the estimator T is called an unbiased estimator for the parameter θ if E[T] = θ, irrespective of the value of θ.

  6. Whipple's index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whipple's_index

    ABCC index helps to measure differences in human capital for further analysis. For instance, to evaluate the gap between numeracy levels of the upper and the lower segments of a sample population, taken from different countries (e.g. 26 regions of France, 25 states of the USA [10]). This inequality of human capital might in turn exerts in ...

  7. Estimates of historical world population - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimates_of_historical...

    Robust population data exist only for the last two or three centuries. Until the late 18th century, few governments had ever performed an accurate census. In many early attempts, such as in Ancient Egypt and the Persian Empire, the focus was on counting merely a subset of the population for purposes of taxation or military service. [2]

  8. Three-point estimation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-point_estimation

    These values are used to calculate an E value for the estimate and a standard deviation (SD) as L-estimators, where: E = (a + 4m + b) / 6 SD = (b − a) / 6. E is a weighted average which takes into account both the most optimistic and most pessimistic estimates provided. SD measures the variability or uncertainty in the estimate.

  9. Method of moments (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_moments_(statistics)

    In statistics, the method of moments is a method of estimation of population parameters.The same principle is used to derive higher moments like skewness and kurtosis. It starts by expressing the population moments (i.e., the expected values of powers of the random variable under consideration) as functions of the parameters of interest.
