Estimation of Parameters from Incomplete Data
不完整数据下的参数估计
THE present note is concerned with a special case of the general problem of obtaining efficient estimators for the parameters of a normal multivariate population when the available sample data are incomplete in the sense that measures on all variables are not available for all individuals in the sample. Such fragmentary data may arise because part of the data are irretrievably lost (e.g., in an archaeological find), or because certain data were purposely not collected. The…
