check if estimation is unbiased?












0












$begingroup$


Assume we that we calculate the expected value of some measurements $x=dfrac {x_1 + x_2 + x_3 + x_4} 4$. what if we dont include $x_3$ and $x_4$, but instead we use $x_2$ as $x_3$ and $x_4$. Then We get the following expression $v=dfrac {x_1 + x_2 + x_2 + x_2} 4$.



How do I know if $v$ is a unbiased estimation of $x$?



I am not sure how to approach this problem, any ideas are appreciated!

[EDIT: Assumed $x_k$ are random variables.]



We say $v$ is an estimator of random variable $x$ if $E[v]=E[x]$, where $E[cdot]$ is expectation of random variables.



Recall that expectation is a linear operator, i.e. if $X$ and $Y$ are random variables and $a,b$ are constants, $E[aX+bY]=aE[X]+bE[Y]$. So we get $E[x]=frac{1}{4}(E[x_1]+E[x_2]+E[x_3]+E[x_4])$, and $E[v]=frac{1}{4}(E[x_1]+3E[x_2])$. Notice that $E[x]=E[v]$ is equivalent to $E[x]-E[v]=0$.



So $v$ is an unbiased estimator if $E[x]-E[v]=0 Leftrightarrow E[x_3]+E[x_4]-2E[x_2]=0.$

Let $theta$ be some parameter. Let $X$ be an estimator.



$X$ is called an unbiased estimator for $theta$ if $E[X] = theta$.



Note that $X$ is a random variable (or random vector) while $theta$ would be a scalar (or vector).



Example



Let's say $x_1$ and $x_2$ are random variables with $E[x_1] = E[x_2] = mu$. Then estimator $y = frac{1}{5} x_1 + frac{4}{5} x_2$ would be an unbiased estimate of $mu$ since $E[y] = mu$.
