Unbiased Estimator (Exercise 5.2.5)
2/27/14 12:13 PM
Yesterday, in class, I computed an estimator for a parameter θ, but I decided against determining if θ^ was unbiased because it involved Integration by Parts four times. It turns out that the estimator is unbiased.

If you would like to see the computations, I posted a link to a PDF here: http://www.math.ucsd.edu/~abowers/183/index.html

It is currently the top announcement on the class webpage. (Dated Feb 27).

As I mention in the announcement, I would never ask you to compute anything this involved for our class.
