Oct 16, 2010 at 10:50 comment added Andrei Kolin Robby, thanks for your exceptional and insightful comments! I'm lucky to stumble on a real expert in this field! However let me point to you that this last comment doesn't deliver what's promised in one of the comments above (ie. explain WHY Niels' estimator is good). Rather it provides rigorous definition of it + simulation results. For the real explanations (proof of the Theorem) the reader is referred to you thesis :) Of course it is incorrect for me to expect the full answer in a page or 2. If i'll need to address more similar questions i'll surely take a read of all the links.

Oct 16, 2010 at 2:51 comment added Robby McKilliam Oh yes! I much prefer Herman Wouk's ryhming version ''When in danger or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout'' anyway. Thanks!
Oct 16, 2010 at 2:10 comment added Will Jagy It seems your thesis quote may precede usage by Laurence J. Peter, wordwizard.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=19330 but there is some question owing to the many books he wrote en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurence_J._Peter
