summary While all nonsequential unbiased estimators of the normal mean have variances which must obey the Cramer-Rao inequality, it is shown that some sequential unbiased estimators do not.

Improved Cramer-Rao Inequality for Randomly Censored Data
As an application of the improved Cauchy-Schwartz inequality due to Walker (Statist. Probab. Lett. (2017) 122:86-90), we obtain an improved version of the Cramer-Rao inequality for randomly censored data derived by Abdushukurov and Kim (J. Soviet. Math. (1987) pp. 2171-2185). We derive a lower bound of Bhattacharya type for the mean square error of a parametric function based on randomly censor...
متن کاملCramer-Rao Lower Bound Computation Via the Characteristic Function
The Cramer-Rao Lower Bound is widely used in statistical signal processing as a benchmark to evaluate unbiased estimators. However, for some random variables, the probability density function has no closed analytical form. Therefore, it is very hard or impossible to evaluate the Cramer-Rao Lower Bound directly. In these cases the characteristic function may still have a closed and even simple f...
متن کاملCramer-Rao Bounds for Nonparametric Surface Reconstruction from Range Data
The Cramer-Rao error bound provides a fundamental limit on the expected performance of a statistical estimator. The error bound depends on the general properties of the system, but not on the specific properties of the estimator or the solution. The Cramer-Rao error bound has been applied to scalarand vector-valued estimators and recently to parametric shape estimators. However, nonparametric, ...
متن کاملCMB bispectrum, trispectrum, non-Gaussianity, and the Cramer-Rao bound
Minimum-variance estimators for the parameter fnl that quantifies local-model non-Gaussianity can be constructed from the cosmic microwave background (CMB) bispectrum (three-point function) and also from the trispectrum (four-point function). Some have suggested that a comparison between the estimates for the values of fnl from the bispectrum and trispectrum allow a consistency test for the mod...
