1 Basic Concepts of Finite Population Sampling
... Definition 4 The actual probability that this interval contains the value of θ is called the coverage probability for the estimator, design and population (usually < 0.95: undercoverage, but sometimes above 0.95 overcoverage). Let E[.] denote expectation (or mean) under the sampling distribution, th ...

That is, for an i.i.d. sequence with finite mean and variance, the sample mean is a n - consistent estimator of the population mean and is asymptotically normal, with asymptotic variance equal to the variance of zn. Note that the Lindeberg-Levy CLT, like the Kolmogorov LLN, requires an i.i.d. sequen ...

Parameter Estimation
... In any situation where we observe a simple random sample X1 , X2 , . . . , Xn from some population with mean µ, we know that the sample mean X̄ = (X1 + X2 + · · · + Xn )/n satisfies E (X̄ ) = µ, so it is natural to estimate µ by X̄ . We treat the Rasmussen survey as a binomial experiment with E (Xi ...
