Finite sample properties of a point estimator include bias, variance, and mean squared error (MSE). Definition 5 The bias of a point estimator W of a parameter θ is the difference Biasθ(W) = EθW − θ. An estimator W is an unbiased estimator for θ if Biasθ(W) = 0 for all...
bias-variance trade-offparameter spaceshrinkageWho would want to be biased? Bias seems obviously, inherently bad. An example of a biased estimator is one that excludes explanatory variables, such as a modedoi:10.2139/ssrn.2221247Jean Czerlinski Whitmore...
Suppose one is given unbiased estimators for $\xibar_3$ and $\xibar_2^2$ respectively, taking a ratio of the two does not necessarily result in an unbiased estimator of $S_3$. Exactly such an estimation-bias affects most existing measurements of $S_3$. Furthermore, common estimators ...
There are several other methods of estimation which are also based on trading off bias for variance. This chapter describes three of these: principal component regression, ridge regression and the shrinkage estimator. This is a preview of subscription content, log in via an institution to check ...
of bias in order to substantially reduce the variances of the estimates ofβ. There are several other methods of estimation which are also based on trading off bias for variance. This chapter describes three of these: principal component regression, ridge regression and the shrinkage estimator. ...
In this note, conditions on the matrix C are developed which show when, component by component, the mean square error of the biased estimator is less than the corresponding mean square error, or variance, of the estimators using the normal equations. That is if &&betacirc;[sub i]* is ...
For high-biased estimates, Theorem 2.2 points out that a martingale closer to the optimal hedging martingale possibly induces a lower upper-bound estimate for the option price and a smaller variance for the high-biased estimator. This property will be illustrated by numerical results implemented in...

This bias may not be u significant issue for finite sample sizes, however, because our estimator minimizes the more general mean-squared-error (mse), i.e., the sum of the estimator variance plus the bias squared. After discussing an example, we review BCVs, including the mse optimal ...
