Nonexistence conjecture for an unbiased photon transfer conversion gain estimator
Nonexistence conjecture for an unbiased photon transfer conversion gain estimator
Let and be independent gamma random variables with densities
and let . An estimator is required to satisfy
Nonexistence conjecture. There is no estimator satisfying this equation when both and are unknown.
The claim concerns whether an unbiased estimator exists for the photon transfer conversion gain estimand . The preceding discussion establishes that inversion with respect to one parameter is possible when is known, but describes the remaining inversion as intractable; no resolution of the unknown-parameter case is supplied here.
