I'm trying to estimate the standard error of the mean for measurements sampled from an unknown distribution. Wikipedia says: The standard error of the mean (SEM) can be expressed as:
$$ \bar{\sigma}_x = \frac {\sigma }{\sqrt {n}}$$
where
σ is the standard deviation of the population.
n is the size (number of observations) of the sample
I was wondering if this results holds for all distributions of our random variable $X$.
In the following post, it is implied that for estimates of the standard error in higher moment (variance, skewness), the estimate is/might be dependent on the distribution:
Specifically, when can we use: $$SE_{\bar{σ}^2} = σ^2 \sqrt{\frac{2}{n-1}}$$
Is there a certain textbook/easy paper you recommend for these kind of questions?
