Consistent statistics for estimating and testing hypotheses from grouped samples
分组样本中用于估计与假设检验的一致统计量
This paper deals with the problem of making statistical inferences about an unknown parameter in the case when the smaple is grouped at the mid-points of equispaced intervals. The main discussion is concerned with a method which leads to consistent statistics, and with the asymptotic efficiency of these statistics compared to (a) the same statistics with ungrouped data, and (b) the maximum likelihood statistics. Unlike previous corrections or grouping, due to Sheppard and…
