minimum variance unbiased estimator
1Minimum-variance unbiased estimator — In statistics a uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimator or minimum variance unbiased estimator (UMVUE or MVUE) is an unbiased estimator that has lower variance than any other unbiased estimator for all possible values of the parameter. The… …
2Estimator — In statistics, an estimator is a function of the observable sample data that is used to estimate an unknown population parameter (which is called the estimand ); an estimate is the result from the actual application of the function to a… …
3Minimum mean square error — In statistics and signal processing, a minimum mean square error (MMSE) estimator describes the approach which minimizes the mean square error (MSE), which is a common measure of estimator quality. The term MMSE specifically refers to estimation… …
4Variance — In probability theory and statistics, the variance of a random variable, probability distribution, or sample is one measure of statistical dispersion, averaging the squared distance of its possible values from the expected value (mean). Whereas… …
5Minimum distance estimation — (MDE) is a statistical method for fitting a mathematical model to data, usually the empirical distribution. Contents 1 Definition 2 Statistics used in estimation 2.1 Chi square criterion …
6Minimum message length — (MML) is a formal information theory restatement of Occam s Razor: even when models are not equal in goodness of fit accuracy to the observed data, the one generating the shortest overall message is more likely to be correct (where the message… …
7Minimum description length — The minimum description length (MDL) principle is a formalization of Occam s Razor in which the best hypothesis for a given set of data is the one that leads to the best compression of the data. MDL was introduced by Jorma Rissanen in 1978. It is …
8Analysis of variance — In statistics, analysis of variance (ANOVA) is a collection of statistical models, and their associated procedures, in which the observed variance in a particular variable is partitioned into components attributable to different sources of… …
9Mean squared error — In statistics, the mean squared error (MSE) of an estimator is one of many ways to quantify the difference between values implied by a kernel density estimator and the true values of the quantity being estimated. MSE is a risk function,… …
