Sampling distribution

the population model is unknown. It expresses the uncertainty about the statistic.

Bias, Variance, MSE
A statistic is unbiased if the mean of the sampling distribution coincides with the population parameter.
A statistic has low variance if the deviation from the mean is very small.

Efficient estimators have a low MSE. It’s a difficult situation to minimize, as it results in a Bias-Variance Tradeoff. A
lower variance is better, but the Bias is ideally equal to 0. When comparing statistics, this MSE is used most often.

The variance is the variance regarding the sample mean, the MSE is the variance regarding the population mean.

When using the MSE to analyze the estimators, the Maximum Likelihood estimator of smaller samples is more

The sampling distribution of the difference in sample means is a t distribution with 𝑛1 + 𝑛2 − 2 degrees of freedom,
centered at µ2 − µ1 .

Monte Carlo Simulation
Computer simulation A numerical technique for conducting experiments on the computer. A tool to virtually
investigate the behavior of the system
Monte Carlo Simulation Computer experiment involving random sampling from probability distributions.
Used for estimators and for hypothesis testing (in absence of analytical results)

MC simulations for estimators
An estimator or test statistic has a true sampling distribution under a particular set of conditions. We want to know
this distribution. The derivation is however not always tractable. The MC simulation can be used to approximate the
distribution.
Step 1: Create approximate sampling distribution
Generate S independent data sets of given sample size n under the conditions of interest
Compute the numerical value of the estimator/test statistic 𝜃̂ for each dataset.
Step 2: Derive bias, var, MSE, relative efficiency
If S is large enough, the summary statistics should be a good approximation to the true sampling properties

̂ (1) )
𝑀𝑆𝐸(𝜃
Relative efficiency 𝑅𝐸 = ̂ (2) )
1 if 𝑅𝐸 < 1, estimator 1 is preferred
𝑀𝑆𝐸(𝜃

The sample median is most efficient for distributions with thick tails.
If the distribution is more similar to a normal distribution the mean is more useful.

MC simulations for hypothesis testing
t-statistic:
There are two types of hypothesis testing situations: 𝑥̅ −𝑥̅
1) Randomness (𝐻0 ) vs. Non-randomness (𝐻1 ) of data 𝑡𝑜𝑏𝑠 = 2̅ 1̅
𝑆𝐸(𝑋2 −𝑋1 )
2) No effect (𝐻0 ) vs. Effect (𝐻1 )
𝐻0 is rejected if the observed data/statistics are very unlikely under the assumption of randomness and no effect.

Confidence intervals
Confidence intervals This expresses sampling uncertainty. Often this is mentioned Two sided t-confidence:
instead of the point estimate. [(𝑥̅ 2 − 𝑥̅1 ) − 𝑡𝐶;𝑛1+𝑛2 −2 𝑆𝐸(𝑥̅2 − 𝑥̅1 );
It holds the true population parameter 𝜃 with a probability of C. (𝑥̅2 − 𝑥̅1 ) + 𝑡𝐶;𝑛1+𝑛2−2 𝑆𝐸(𝑥̅2 − 𝑥̅1 )]
A two-sample Student’s t-test does rely on some assumptions: the samples must come
from a normal distribution, and the variances are equal. If these are violated it can impact the quality of the
hypothesis test. If the variances are not equal, Welch’s test applies.
