Statistics Laplace's rule?

Laplace’s Rule of Succession states that if an event appeared X times out of n trials, the probability that it will appear in a future trial is X+1/n+2 :


(a) If X+1/n+2 is taken as an estimator for binomial p, compare the MSE of this


estimator with the MSE of the traditional estimator, ˆ p = X/n





(b) Represent MSE from (a) as the sum of estimator’s variance and the bias


squared.|||See link to answer your stat problem: http://www.efunda.com/math/laplace_trans…





Good luck!|||3.14
