Target estimation for bias and mean square error reduction
以目标估计降低偏差与均方误差
Given a statistical functional T and a parametric family of distributions, a bias reduced functional $\tilde{T}$ is defined by setting the expected value of the statistic equal to the observed value. Under certain regularity conditions this new statistic, called the target estimator, will have smaller bias and mean square error than the original estimator. The theoretical aspects are analyzed by using higher order von Mises expansions. Several examples are given, including $M$…
