Linear location estimators : the dependence of their quality on the shape of the probability density function, and their robustness

The dependence of the performance of linear location estimators on the shape of the probability density function is investigated. Density functions are classified by their shape, and it is seen how the form and the variance of the best linear location estimator for a distribution varies as the shape...
