423St follows from Equations (6.265) through (6.267) that the correction to y/x declike 1/n, i.e., for a sufficiently large number of averaged realizations in x <strong>and</strong> y, thin the estimate f becomes negligible.Having obtained an unbiased estimate of the ratio, it is natural to ahof its variance. We shall first determine the theoretical variance of f, thiof it in terms of the sample statistics. Since the density function of x <strong>and</strong> \ , , ibe concentrated in a small region around the expectations, terms of the order'AI 1 "•)(k & OSare small compared to the second-order quantities <strong>and</strong> therefore terms proportional to fourth<strong>and</strong> higher relative central moments will be neglected.Let us first notice that the variance of the corrected empirical estimate f in Equator(6.265) differs negligibly from that of f in Equation (6.264).
