Best estimator for a 3 coin problem
The idea is that for small n the mean estimators for X/Y could be rather poor and one should restrain from using the information on Z to estimate Gamma.

Best estimator for a 3 coin problem
Also I am asking for the epected value, that is imagine that after I set up this decision rule for the estimator many many coins are tossed and I have to minize the absolute loss.

This is very very important to me, if you have a hint for me please help me, it really is highly appreciated.

Best estimator for a 3 coin problem
Yes the idea is that i have the information of n Gamma and Z tosses and now I am left with only a Z toss and try to find the better estimator for the Gamma coin which I know is dependent on the Z coin. The idea is that if I have a lot of samples with the same value for Z I probably should take the respective X/Y mean but when I have little experience for the result of Z I might be better of with the mean of Gamma.

It's the same Z as in the first and second line.

Is there a proof that the Law of Large Numbers is the limit (numerical) for estimation of expected values?
Thinking practically here, the (general) question is most interesting for relatively small n. How big does n need to be for the asymptotic $c/\sqrt(n)$ to hold?

This paper is just what I had been searching for. Thank you very much.
