Which is largest, of a bunch of normally distributed random variables? @whuber, thanks! I edited the question: in my case $n=61$. Even if $n=61$ isn't large enough to count as large, if there are good asymptotic estimates in the case where $n$ is large, that'd be interesting. |

The product distribution: how fast does dissimilarity increase as a function of number of samples? One application of this: hypothesis testing when you have many samples from either $\mathcal{D}_0$ or $\mathcal{D}_1$ (and you want to determine which). See also Hypothesis testing and total variation distance vs. Kullback-Leibler divergence and also this. |

L1 regression estimates median whereas L2 regression estimates mean? @muratoa, yes, I know the calculus derivation, but the question asks specifically for an explanation that focuses on intuition and avoids algebra. I would assume that the question-asker knows the calculus derivation already, but is looking for something that provides more intuition. |

Two unbiased estimators for the same quantity @MichaelChernick, nice! |

Two unbiased estimators for the same quantity This answer is a tad obscure. It never states the bottom line in clear, English language: what is a good way to take advantage of the extra information from knowing both estimators? Also, how does it apply to the original poster's specific context? The reader is left to try to infer the answer. I think the answer might be improved by spelling it out.... |

How much information can you mine out of a name? Could you elaborate on what this has to do with the original poster's question? |
