German tank problem
In the statistical theory of estimation, the German tank problem consists of estimating the maximum of a discrete uniform distribution from sampling without replacement. In simple terms, suppose there exists an unknown number of items which are sequentially numbered from 1 to N. A random sample of these items is taken and their sequence numbers observed; the problem is to estimate N from these observed numbers.
German tank problem - Wikipedia Jump to content From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Problem in statistical estimation During World War II , production of German tanks such as the Panther was accurately estimated by Allied intelligence using statistical methods. In the statistical theory of estimation , the German tank problem consists of estimating the maximum of a discrete uniform distribution from sampling without replacement . In simple terms, suppose there exists an unknown number of items which are sequentially numbered from 1 to N . A random sample of these items is taken and their seq
