Scale Median for MRE Estimators with Absolute Difference Error Function for Scale Families

531 Views Asked by At

Lehmann, in Theory of Point Estimation p.212, defines scale median as the solution to: $${E(X)I(X\le c)} = {E(X)I(X\ge c)}$$

given $X$ is a positive random variable, and ${E(X)}< \infty$.

Now based on this: $${E(X)I(X\le c)} = \int_0^c x\,f(x)\,dx \le c $$ and thus conversely, $${E(X)I(X\ge c)} = \int_c^\infty x\,f(x)\,dx \ge c $$

Therefore, the equality will never hold unless $X$ is a discrete point at $c$ w.p. 1.

So what's wrong with my reasoning?

"Conversely" is wrong and misses the fact that one uses two inequalities to get an upper bound of $\mathbb E(X;X\leqslant c)$, namely:

(1) If $x\leqslant c$, then $xf(x)\leqslant cf(x)$.

(2) $\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^cf(x)\mathrm dx\leqslant1$.

This approach fails with $\mathbb E(X;X\geqslant c)$ because the inequality in (1) is reversed while the inequality in (2) is not, to wit:

(1') If $x\geqslant c$, then $xf(x)\geqslant cf(x)$.

(2') $\displaystyle\int_c^{+\infty}f(x)\mathrm dx\leqslant1$.
