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 ...
To decrease the variance of the estimate of I, importance sampling is often used to recast the problem as (5.101)I=∫Vg(x)f⁎(x)f⁎(x)dx, where f⁎(x) is a PDF that is approximately proportional to g(x). An unbiased estimator of I is the straightforward sample-mean estimator...
We show next that the price error between the high-biased estimate and the American option price, and the variance of high-biased estimator are both highly dependent on the choice of martingales. Theorem 2.2 Let M* denote the optimal martingale as in Theorem 2.1, and M ɛ H01 be any ...
Approximate numerical methods are one of the most used strategies to extract information from many-interacting-agents systems. In particular, numerical approximations are of extended use to deal with epidemic, ecological and biological models, since unbiased methods like the Gillespie algorithm can become...

Update the documentation for BatchNorm1D, BatchNorm2D, and BatchNorm3D to say that batch_norm uses the unbiased variance estimator: The standard-deviation is calculated via the unbiased estimator, equivalent to torch.var(input, unbiased=True) cc @svekars @holly1238 @albanD @mruberry @jbschlos...
The sample MRL, as an estimator for the population MRL, has not been investigated thoroughly yet. This work examines the bias, variance and mean- squared error (MSE) of the MRL. Unbiased or near unbiased estimators are developed wherever possible for the squared and non-squared MRL, as well...
For example, a confidence interval is a biased estimator because it estimates a population parameter using a range of values that likely contains the true population value, such as the population mean or proportion. Researchers and statisticians aim to minimize bias as much as possible....

The proposed approach locally minimizes the squared first-order asymptotic bias of the doubly robust estimator under misspecification of both working models and results in doubly robust estimators with easy-to-calculate asymptotic variance. It moreover improves the stability of the weights in those ...
