Shift-invariant optimal estimator conjecture for distributions on the real line
Let be a distribution on , and consider estimators for the associated location family. An estimator is shift-invariant if shifting every observation by shifts the estimate by . Shift-invariant optimal estimator conjecture. There is an optimal estimator for that is shift-invariant. The conjecture is motivated by examples in which the optimal bounds for general and shift-invariant estimators coincide; the source provides no proof in the general case.
