Amending to Variance of Mode?

2000-12-05 Thread Alireza Tahai
Let me clarify my question Considering, mode is the maximum value of density function or f'(x)=0. The maximum of independent variables has their own distribution. For example the distribution of maximum of independent exponential variables is exponential. 1) What is the variance of this maximum

Variance of Mode?

Hello, Would you answer the following two questions, 1) I know the variance of mean and median. What is the variance of mode? 2) Under what condition we can say mode is a better estimate of population average than mean or median. For example, when the distribution of a variable is Gamma, then
