New lecture series honors minority scientists His name is attached to a theorem in statistics, the Rao-Blackwell theorem, which is important in estimation theory and tests of hypotheses. Both Blackwell, who is professor emeritus of mathematics at U.C. Berkeley, and Tapia, who is the Noah Harding Professor of Computational and Applied Mathematics at Rice, will attend the event, which will conclude with a banquet in their honor. Blackwell was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1965. www.news.cornell.edu /Chronicle/00/4.20.00/Blackwell-Tapia_lectures.html

Raoword Rao's question was 'given a set of measurements, is there further information in an additional set of measurements?' This is the test that he developed and that he used in his thesis. Rao also has an interest in photography, although that is a past-time he is only able to pursue in the United States because of availability of photographic equipment in India. Rao had proved Fisher's inequality that the asymptotic variance is not smaller than one divided by the information. www.mrs.umn.edu /~sungurea/introstat/history/w98/Rao.html

Advances in Econometrics and Quantitative Economics Professor Rao's many contributions to theoretical statistics in general and multivariate analysis in particular arose from his involvement in the analysis of large data sets at the ISI, such as the Anthropometric Survey in 1941 in the United Provinces of India. Rao, C.R. (1947) Large sample tests of statistical hypotheses concerning several parameters with applications to problems of estimation. We believe that econometricians would find many contributions of Professor Rao useful in their work, and have therefore appended his complete bibliography to this volume. cowles.econ.yale.edu /books/phillips/pcb_advances.htm

List of mathematical examples - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The concrete example within the article titled Rao-Blackwell theorem is perhaps one of the best ways for a probabilist ignorant of statistical inference to get a quick impression of the flavor of that subject. Usually a definition of an abstract concept, a theorem, or a proof would not be an "example" as the term should be understood here (an elegant proof of an isolated but particularly striking fact, as opposed to a proof of a general theorem, could perhaps be considered an "example"). To qualify for inclusion, an article should be about a mathematical object with a fair amount of concreteness. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/List_of_mathematical_examples

Estimator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Concerning such "best unbiased estimators", see also Cramér-Rao inequality, Gauss-Markov theorem, Lehmann-Scheffé theorem, Rao-Blackwell theorem.

CSE 291 Lecture Notes, January 20, 2005 Theorem: The statistic t: X->Y is sufficient for the family of distributions P_theta over X if and only if the density function p_theta(x) can be written as the product of two factors where the first depends on theta and t only, while the second depends on x only, i.e. Note that by the factorization theorem, the vector [t1(x),..., tk(x)] is sufficient. Use the completeness theorem for an exponential family. www.cse.ucsd.edu /~elkan/291/jan20.html

No Title The Rao Blackwell theorem shows that a UMVUE, if it exists, will be a function of any sufficient statistic. The theorem is proved by finding a statistic T ( x) such that X is a one to one function of the pair S, T and applying the change of variables to the joint density of S and T. It is a theorem that a Laplace transform is 0 if and only if the function is 0 ( because you can invert the transform). www.math.sfu.ca /~lockhart/richard/801/98_3/lectures/18/web.html

1998-99 Colloquium Series: C.R. Rao Rao received his Ph.D. and Sc.D. from the Cambridge University in the U.K., and was awarded twenty-two Honorary Doctorate degrees from universities in fifteen different countries around the world. C.R. Rao started his career as a statistician in 1941 at the Indian Statistical Institute founded by Professor P.C. Mahalanobis, where he established the famous Research and Training School which produced a number of outstanding mathematicians, probabilitists and statisticians and won international recognition. C.R. Rao would be found in almost any statistician's list of five outstanding workers in the world of Mathematical Statistics today. www.oakland.edu /links/math/98-99colloquiums/colloqRao.html

Sufficiency (statistics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia If g ( X) is any kind of estimator of θ, then typically the conditional expectation of g ( X) given T ( X) is a better estimator of θ ; one way of making that statement precise is called the Rao-Blackwell theorem. Consequently that conditional expected value is actually a statistic, and so is available for use in estimation. Sometimes one can very easily construct a very crude estimator g ( X), and then evaluate that conditional expected value to get an estimator that is in various senses optimal. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Sufficiency_%28statistics%29

Lehmann-Scheffé theorem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The usual way to find such an estimator is application of the Rao-Blackwell theorem. In statistics, the Lehmann-Scheffé theorem states the any estimator that is complete, sufficient, and unbiased is the unique best unbiased estimator of its expectation.

INFORMS von Neumann Theory Prize Winners The famous Rao-Blackwell theorem on statistical estimation led to a practical method for improving estimates, now known as "Rao-Blackwellization." An elegant and important form of the renewal theorem is due to Blackwell, as is a beautiful characterization of the information content of an experiment. The John von Neumann Theory Prize for 1979 is awarded to David Blackwell for his outstanding work in developing the theory of Markovian decision processes, and, more generally, for his many contributions in probability theory, mathematical statistics, and game theory that have strengthened the methodology of operations research and management science. In other areas, Blackwell's early work with Arrow and Girshick helped lay the foundations for sequential analysis, and his subsequent book with Girshick systemized the whole field of statistical decision theory, to the great benefit of a generation of mathematical statisticians. www.informs.org /Prizes/vonNeumannDetails.html

User:Michael Hardy Rao-Blackwell theorem -- I think this topic may be one of the best ways for any probabilist who is ignorant of statistical inference to get an impression of the flavor of that subject. An infinitely differentiable function that is not analytic -- Although this is merely the usual example, I explained (albeit tersely, so far) its relevance to Schwartz\"s theory of generalized functions: One can construct test functions (i.e., infinitely differentiable functions with bounded support) with prescribed behavior on an interval. Radius of convergence -- This article includes an example of the fact that complex numbers are sometimes simpler than real numbers; they allow us to quickly find the radius of convergence of a power series in which the coefficients are Bernoulli numbers. www.baapoo.com /wiki,index,goto,User:Michael_Hardy.html

kursmail7.txt Show that there is strict inequality in the Rao-Blackwell Theorem, for some suitble (or rather unsuitable perhaps) P_{theta}, for all theta such that L(theta,.) is strictly convex, unless delta_0(x) is a function of the sufficient statistic T(x) only. The First Serious Graduate Course in Statistics in Gothenburg for More than a Decade ********************************************************************** Course Mail 7 ============= Here are two exercises, that completes the discussion we (I) had during Lecture 4, about the proof of Theorem 3.18, and about strict inequality in the Rao-Blackwell Theorem 3.22, and Example 3.23: Problem PA1. Explain in detail, how sufficiency of T(X) is used in the proof of Theorem 3.18. www.math.chalmers.se /~palbin/kursmail7.txt

rao_blackwell.htm So by the Rao-Blackwell Theorem, $\mean X$ is at least as good an estimator of $\theta $ as is $\text{med}(\vect X)$. Then $T=\sum X_i$ is sufficient by the Completeness Theorem for Exponential Families. Given any unbiased estimator $\theta$ and any sufficient statistic for $\theta$, there is an unbiased estimator of $\theta$ which is a function of the sufficient statistic and which has at least as small a variance. www.york.ac.uk /depts/maths/teaching/pml/st2/handouts/rao_blackwell.htm
