Abstract
In this paper Dywer Functions DU and D •U are given. The DU -functions are the final functional forms in sampling theory in which any moment function expressible in terms of symmetric functions can be represented.
This representation is unique, concise, and simple. Similarly, the D •U -functions are the functional forms in which any unbiased estimated function can be expressed uniquely and accurately.
Dwyer functions can be considered as the most generalized forms using Carver functions.
