Jan 7, 2025 · I also know that sample variance has the formula "Mean of the squares minus the mean squared". While calculating the sample variance of a given sample, I used both the …

Feb 25, 2016 · If the sample variance is larger than there is a greater chance that it captures the true population variance. That is why when you divide by $ (n-1)$ we call that an unbiased …

Aug 28, 2015 · The variance estimator makes use of the sample mean and as a consequence underestimates the true variance of the population. Dividing by n-1 instead of n corrects for …

Unbiased weighted variance was already addressed here and elsewhere but there still seems to be a surprising amount of confusion. There appears to be a consensus toward the formula …

This formula works directly with the underlying sample means and sample variances of the two subgroups, and does not require intermediate calculation of the pooled sample mean.

Sample variance with with $1/n$ factor can be re-expressed as the average of all squared differences between all pairs points. Now notice that the pairs where the same point enters …

Jan 15, 2015 · If $\theta=4$ how to you find the mean and variance? My guess was to plug in $4$ of course and then integrate that function from $0$ to infinity. As for the variance I honestly …

One reserved observation is "-1" and so you have N-1 in computing the variance estimate. The unbiased estimate is called sample variance (not to be confused with the sample's variance) …

In order to respond (offline) to a now-deleted challenge to the validity of this answer, I compared its results to direct calculation of the variance of the product in many simulations. It's not a …
