... 1. Use the range rule of thumb (see Section 3‐3) to estimate the standard deviation as follows: range/4. 2. Start the sample collection process without knowing and, using the first several values, calculate the sample standard deviation s and use it in place of σ. The estimated value of can ...

If p is the proportion with value 1 in the sample, then the confidence limits for pi are p ME, where ME is the “margin of error.” The Confidence (= 1 - ) is the probability that pi lies within this i ...

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.
