Key Concepts

Unbiased Estimator

An unbiased estimator is a statistical estimate whose expected value equals the true parameter it seeks to estimate. In other words, on average, the estimator yields the correct parameter value, which makes it a desirable property in statistical inference.

Biased Estimator

A biased estimator is one for which the expected value does not equal the true parameter value. The difference between the estimator's expected value and the actual parameter is called the bias, and understanding this bias is crucial for assessing the accuracy of an estimator.

Expectation and Linearity of Expectation

The expectation of a random variable is its average outcome over an infinite number of samples. The property of linearity of expectation states that the expected value of a sum of random variables is the sum of their expected values, regardless of whether they are independent. This principle is essential in evaluating the performance of estimators by determining their expected values.

Binomial Distribution

The binomial distribution models the number of successes in a fixed number of independent Bernoulli trials, each with the same probability of success. It is a fundamental distribution in statistics, especially when dealing with binary outcomes, and it provides the context for evaluating estimators like the sample proportion.
