Peer reviewedSmith, Thomas M.; Scariano, Stephen M. – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1990
Presented is the change-point estimation which is a variation on point estimation for a two-sample problem. This variation relies on the elementary properties of the expected value and variance operators, is intuitive and is easily accessible for introductory statistics courses. Data for this exercise may be produced by a BASIC program which is…
