Using expansions based on orthogonal polynomials, we study the properties (such as attainability) of a system of lower bounds for the variance of any unbiased estimator in certain distributions whose range depends on an unknown parameter. We also study the bound of the ΓΏrst order, and compare it wit

BEST (1974) found the variance of the minimum variance unbiased estimator of the Bernoulli parameter with an inverse sample. Noting its intricacy MIKULSKI and SMITE (1976) found bounds on this variance. SATEE (1977) developed closer bounds on it. In this paper still closer upper bound on the varianc
In this work, we improve the lower and upper bounds obtained by Zhang and Luo [X. Zhang, R. Luo, Upper bound for the non-maximal eigenvalues of irreducible nonnegative matrices, Czechoslovak Math. J. 52 (127) (2002) 537-544] for the nonmaximal eigenvalue Ξ» n-1 (A) of a symmetric positive matrix.
