... entire population data would be called the population mean, µ. Calculating the mean based on the sample data would be called the sample mean, x . One important note is that we often find entire populations too large to work with for a number of reasons, such as cost and time; therefore we use random ...

Linear Models in Econometrics
... to E[xi x0i ] and similarly n1 ni=1 yi xi converges in probability to E[yi xi ].4 Intuitively this says as the sample size increases the sample average becomes closer and closer to the population moment with increasing probability. These concepts will be explained formally and in more detail in the ...

Extending Powell's Semiparametric Censored Estimator to Include Non-Linear Functional Forms and Extending Buchinsky's Estimation Technique
... as the degree of censoring is reduced and as the sample size is increased. A recent estimator that is similar to Powell is by Buchinsky and Hahn (1998) who estimate censored quantile regressions (censored LAD is the 50th quantile) by first estimating nonparametric quantiles and conditional distribut ...

... Consider taking many (theoretically, all possible) samples of size n from a population. Take the average x of each sample. All of these sample means make up the sampling distribution, which can be graphed as a histogram. • The mean of the sampling distribution is the same as the mean of the populati ...

German tank problem
In the statistical theory of estimation, the problem of estimating the maximum of a discrete uniform distribution from sampling without replacement is known in English as the German tank problem, due to its application in World War II to the estimation of the number of German tanks.The analyses illustrate the difference between frequentist inference and Bayesian inference.Estimating the population maximum based on a single sample yields divergent results, while the estimation based on multiple samples is an instructive practical estimation question whose answer is simple but not obvious.
