10 <strong>SAMPLE</strong> <strong>MOMENTS</strong>Now consider <strong>the</strong> third term on <strong>the</strong> right side of 42 (ignoring n 2 for now) which we can write as⎡E [ Ȳ 4 ] = 1 n∑n E ⎣4= 1 n 2 E ⎡⎣i =1n∑i =1Y in ∑j =1Y jn ∑k =1Y kn ∑l =1Y l⎤⎦Yi 4 + ∑∑ Y i 2 Yk 2 + ∑∑ Y i 2 Yj2 + ∑i ̸=k i ̸= ji ̸= jYi 2 Yj 2 + ···⎤⎦(45a)(45b)where for <strong>the</strong> first double sum (i = j ≠ k=l), for <strong>the</strong> second (i = k ≠ j=l), and for <strong>the</strong> last (i = l ≠ j=k) and ... indicates that all o<strong>the</strong>r terms include Y i in a non-squared form, <strong>the</strong> expected value of which willbe zero. Given that <strong>the</strong> Y i are independently and identically distributed, <strong>the</strong> expected value of each of <strong>the</strong>double sums is <strong>the</strong> same, which gives⎡E [ Ȳ 4] = 1 n∑n 4 E ⎣= 1 n 4 [ n∑i =1= 1 n 4 [ n∑i =1Yi 4 + ∑∑ Y i 2 Yk 2 + ∑∑ Y i 2 Yj2 + ∑i ̸= k i ̸= ji ̸= jEYi 4 +3 ∑∑ ]Y i 2 Yj 2 + terms containing EX ii ̸= ji =1EYi 4 +3 ∑∑ Y i 2 Yj2i ̸= j]Y 2i Y 2⎤j + ··· ⎦(46a)(46b)(46c)= 1 n 4 [nµ4 +3n (n − 1) ( µ 2 ) 2] (46d)= 1 n 4 [nµ4 +3n (n − 1) σ 4] (46e)= 1 n 3 [µ4 +3(n − 1) σ 4] (46f)Now combining <strong>the</strong> information in equations 44, 45, and 46 we obtain
