Expected value of small sample @Srikant It's the best "answer" I've got so far. I think I'll be trying it out because: 1. As currently stated Jorly's doesn't actually provide the ev, and there is no indication of how prior information is utilised. 2. Kingsford's answer could suffer convergence problems apparently, and there is a lot of work for me to figure out what it all means. 3. Simon's solution worked well for him, and I trust Simon. 4. I think in time I'll get a proof of his method 5. The method uses all the available data and is correct at the extrema when individual variance is small and large |

Expected value of small sample @Joris How do I calculate the ev from the CI? How does this approach make use of the prior information provided by the other products? |
