According to conventional Allied intelligence estimates, the Germans
were producing around 1,400 tanks a month between June 1940 and September 1942.
Applying the formula below to the serial numbers of captured tanks, the number
was calculated to be 246 a month. After the war, captured German production
figures from the ministry of Albert Speer showed the actual number to be 245.
I was actually surprised that MVUEs and the fellow point estimators are called frequentist (though it makes sense). In school we always referred to them as non-Bayesian, at the same time frequentist always seemed like a dirty word to us students so maybe that's why
