摘要
Intuitively one might expect that the quality of statistical estimates cannot worsen if they are based on more data. We show in a least-squares linear regression setting that this intuition is wrong. Adding data may worsen the quality of parameter estimates, and in fact may even cause a design sequence to lose strong consistency. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
