In regression analysis, the term " mean squared error " is sometimes used to refer to the unbiased estimate of error variance : the residual sum of squares divided by the number of consistent, given the consistency of the predictor.

Which gives an unbiased estimate for the causal effect of X on Y . The same adjustment formula works when there are multiple confounders except, in this case, the choice of a set Z of variables that would guarantee unbiased estimates must be done with caution.

When autocorrelation is present, it can often be removed to get unbiased estimates of regression coefficients and their variances by constructing a respecified dependent variable that is " lagged " by weightings on the dependent variable on other locations, where the weights are degree of relationship.

Having the expressions above involving the "'variance "'of the population, and of an estimate of the mean of that population, it would seem logical to simply take the square root of these expressions to obtain unbiased estimates of the respective standard deviations.

Clearly the statistician desires the unbiased estimate P ( y | do ( x ) ), but in cases where only observational data are available, an unbiased estimate can only be obtained by " adjusting " for all confounding factors, namely, conditioning on their various values and averaging the result.

However, it is a minimum variance unbiased estimate of the expected value of the median of three values and in this application of the theory it is the population parameter defined as " the expected value of the median of three values " which is being estimated, not the median of the population.

Often, people refer to a " biased estimate " or an " unbiased estimate, " but they really are talking about an " estimate from a biased estimator, " or an " estimate from an unbiased estimator . " Also, people often confuse the " error " of a single estimate with the " bias " of an estimator.

Firstly, while the sample variance ( using Bessel's correction ) is an unbiased estimate of the population variance, its square root, the sample standard deviation, is a " biased " estimate of the population standard deviation; because the square root is a concave function, the bias is downward, by Jensen's inequality.
