How researchers see this paper

The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Inference Under Information Constraints I: Lower Bounds From Chi-Square Contraction (2018, background): “The latter goes beyond the discrete setting considered here, but often starts with a quantization to a uniform reference distribution (see [35], [39]).”
The epic story of maximum likelihood (2007, unknown): “Only an abstract was ever published, but the summary Ore read survives (part of a thick folder of other, later notes by Hotelling), and it is printed here, together with the abstract (Hotelling, 1930a), as Appendix 3.”
