Talk:Hodges' estimator

famous
The claim that this "famous", even with a reference to a book, still stikes me as a POV issue.--RadioFan (talk) 23:17, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Here is the quotation from the book: "Of course, there are estimators which are not uniformly regular or even locally regular. The most well known of these is the ‘‘superefficient’’ estimator of Hodges; see, e.g., Lehmann (1983, pages 405, 407–408)." [emphasis mine]
 * I don't see why "famous" is a POV here. After all, it is the only counterexample for asymptotic superefficiency that is ever considered (of course, everyone realizes that other counterexamples may be constructed, but nobody sees the point). I mean, maybe it's not that famous in general, but amoung the counterexamples against Fisher's notion of asymptotic efficiency — it is the most famous.  //  st pasha  »  23:33, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
