This is not considured a math theorem, even though it is always true, and can be proven as such.

Let X = {x1,x2,x3,...,xn}

let fX|Theta be a pdf of X|Theta

for all Theta-hat such that E(Theta-hat) = Theta

This a theorem in Statistics, but why isn't it considured a theorem when it comes to pure math.


What makes this Stats and maybe applied math, rather than pure math?

What is your problem, I am asking a legit question.

Just wondering why you can't call that a pure math theorem.

I posted that Stat isn't math.


This question ask why can't this be considured a pure math theorem, even if you call stat an applied math.

Why is this either a stat theorem and/or an applied math theorem, but not a pure math theorem.

Did a group of math majors gang up and make fun of you for being stats? Why do you hold a grudge against mathematicians?

Someone needs to buy DVK916 a year worth of donuts so he can stop posting.

What is it with all the trolls on this forum.

This is a simple question, which deserves a simple answer.

What make something pure math, or applied math.

I have no grudge against them, just want to know what makes something applied math, rather than pure.

Again, you are the one trolling right now.

So far, all I had was trolls posting in this thread.
