Estimation of the Cross-Product of Two Mean Vectors
Neudecker, Heinz; Zmyslony, Roman; Trenkler, Gotz
International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, v34 n6 p928-935 Nov 2003
The problem of estimating the cross-product of two mean vectors in three-dimensional Euclidian space is considered. Two "natural" estimators are developed, both of which turn out to be biased. A third, unbiased estimator, resulting from a jackknife procedure, is also investigated. It is shown that, under normality, the latter is best among all the unbiased estimators of this quantity.
