Non-Routine Exploration of Jensen’s Inequality, Cramer-Rao Inequality, MVUE, and Symmetry
Abstract
Deep grounding of Jensen's Inequality, Cramer-Rao Inequality, MVUEs, and Symmetry, to name a few among other topics, in the core material of statistical inference is undeniable. After dealing with such stuff intently during the past 48+ years of my life, one may expect that by now I should know nearly whatever there is to know. In all humility, however, I must admit that I absolutely do not, and I feel lucky that I do not. Every new encounter still tends to open a new horizon for me that I was not aware of earlier. It is like going to a new candy store! I hope to share my passion for selected discoveries (and rediscoveries) which by some chance I suddenly come across sometimes, and then I pause: I just want to soak in their intrinsic power, beauty and elegance, but do so ever so softly and quietly.
