Bias term can be defined as .
Explanation:
- Suppose that are iid, each with pdf/pmf unknown.
- We aim to estimate by a statistic, i.e by a function T of the data.
- If then our estimate is (does not involve ). Here, is our estimator of , and is a random variable since it inherits random fluctuations from those of X.
- Now we have is an estimator of .
- Then the bias of is the difference between its expectation and the ’true’ value:
