Little stumped

> Despite its simplicity, the trimean is a remarkably efficient estimator of population mean.

For what probability distribution? "Population mean"? Well, for a gaussian the ... average is 100% efficient according to Efficiency_(statistics), and it certainly looks simpler to me.2001:984:6FB5:1:C491:C226:DED8:422A (talk) 12:04, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Another problem: The section on Efficiency gives the efficiency of three other estimators, but never tells us the efficiency of the trimean. --seberle (talk) 13:33, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
