Hello:
If I understand the concept correctly, a consistent statistic is one
whose value approaches the population value as the sample size
increases. I am looking for examples of statistics that are _not_
consistent. The best examples would be statistics that are not
computationally complex and could be understood by large and diverse
audiences. Also, how can one go about demonstrating the statistic is
not consistent thru simulation?
thanks for any suggestions,
Chuck
