Wolfowitz inequality
From Encyclopedia of Mathematics
An inequality for the mathematical expectation of the square of the deviation of a statistical estimator from the true value of a parameter, obtained by the method of sequential analysis. The Wolfowitz inequality is the analogue of the Rao–Cramer inequality for samples of fixed size. It was obtained by J. Wolfowitz.
