If we define

 

                       

 

to be a new estimator of , then the bias of  is

 

                       

 

which is less than the bias of  since it eliminates the term of order 1/n.  In practice the estimator  is computed as

 

                       

 

where i = 1, ... n.  This is the first order jackknife estimator.  It is useful in that it is a less biased estimator although being somewhat more variable than the un-jackknifed estimator, but this increased variability is at maximum
