Abstract: |
In the previous chapters, we focused on the point estimation of a parametric function g(θ), meaning that once we know the sample value, we can provide an estimate t = T(x) of the value of g(θ), where T(X) is an estimator of our parametric function. Since we are dealing with estimation, it is clear that this estimate will deviate from the true value of g(θ), resulting in some estimation error. Therefore, we would like to have some idea about this estimation error, and even specify the level of accuracy with which we want our estimator to estimate the true value of g(θ). In other words, our goal is to find a random interval—whose endpoints are functions of the sample—that covers the true value of the unknown parametric function g(θ) with the desired level of confidence.
