2. Bias of an estimator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bias_of_an_estimator

   In statistics, the bias of an estimator (or bias function) is the difference between this estimator 's expected value and the true value of the parameter being estimated. An estimator or decision rule with zero bias is called unbiased. In statistics, "bias" is an objective property of an estimator. Bias is a distinct concept from consistency ...

3. Mean squared error - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_squared_error

   The MSE either assesses the quality of a predictor (i.e., a function mapping arbitrary inputs to a sample of values of some random variable), or of an estimator (i.e., a mathematical function mapping a sample of data to an estimate of a parameter of the population from which the data is sampled).

4. Sample size determination - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_size_determination

   Sample size determination. Sample size determination or estimation is the act of choosing the number of observations or replicates to include in a statistical sample. The sample size is an important feature of any empirical study in which the goal is to make inferences about a population from a sample. In practice, the sample size used in a ...

5. Kaplan–Meier estimator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaplan–Meier_estimator

   The Kaplan–Meier estimator, [1][2] also known as the product limit estimator, is a non-parametric statistic used to estimate the survival function from lifetime data. In medical research, it is often used to measure the fraction of patients living for a certain amount of time after treatment. In other fields, Kaplan–Meier estimators may be ...

6. Estimator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimator

   Estimator. In statistics, an estimator is a rule for calculating an estimate of a given quantity based on observed data: thus the rule (the estimator), the quantity of interest (the estimand) and its result (the estimate) are distinguished. [1] For example, the sample mean is a commonly used estimator of the population mean.

7. Jackknife resampling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackknife_resampling

   Jackknife resampling. In statistics, the jackknife (jackknife cross-validation) is a cross-validation technique and, therefore, a form of resampling. It is especially useful for bias and variance estimation. The jackknife pre-dates other common resampling methods such as the bootstrap. Given a sample of size , a jackknife estimator can be built ...
