You have an observation x from N(o,σ). Decide c so that c|x| is a unbiased estimation of σ and calculate the estimations variance. Answer exactly.
please explain thoroughly.
thank you in advance. :)
Given,
where x is a single observation from the normal population
To find,
An unbiased estimator of using x
we know,
the unbiased estimator of is,
we know that the mean of the population is 0,
thus an unbiased estimator of ,
Checking,
Required which would be the unbiased estimator of .
