Inverse Problems in the Theory of Means for Small Samples

  • Measurements in information technologies
  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

We formulate inverse problems for measurement of means obtained from small samples. The estimates investigated are chosen from the classical means: arithmetic, geometric, harmonic, quadratic and contraharmonic. We find formulas for estimating unknown quantities using known means from two and three measurements.
