Extract

In an earlier paper (Aitken and Silverstone, 1941) the problem of estimating from sample a parameter θ of unknown value was treated by adopting two postulates for the estimating function: (i) that it should be unbiased in the linear sense; (ii) that its sampling variance should be minimal.
