Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
nothing yet. i don't really know where to get started. a push in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
i'm not really super clear on how to calculate unbiased estimators. i believe i want a parameter, Bhat, such that E(Bhat) = B. but I'm not really sure how to find it. so yeah, a general hint on how to get started would be awesome. thanks!
