- best linear unbiased estimator (BLUE)
- minimum mean squared error (MMSE)
- median-unbiased estimator, minimizes the risk of the absolute-error loss function
- maximum likelihood (ML)

“There should be less talk; a preaching point is not a meeting point. What do you do then? Take a broom and clean someone’s house. That says enough.”
