Robust statistics | Estimator | Robust regression | M-estimators
In statistics, M-estimators are a broad class of extremum estimators for which the objective function is a sample average. Both non-linear least squares and maximum likelihood estimation are special cases of M-estimators. The definition of M-estimators was motivated by robust statistics, which contributed new types of M-estimators. The statistical procedure of evaluating an M-estimator on a data set is called M-estimation. 48 samples of robust M-estimators can be found in a recent review study. More generally, an M-estimator may be defined to be a zero of an estimating function. This estimating function is often the derivative of another statistical function. For example, a maximum-likelihood estimate is the point where the derivative of the likelihood function with respect to the parameter is zero; thus, a maximum-likelihood estimator is a critical point of the score function. In many applications, such M-estimators can be thought of as estimating characteristics of the population. (Wikipedia).

Kurt Johansson (KTH) -- Multivariate normal approximation for traces of random unitary matrices
Consider an n x n random unitary matrix U taken with respect to normalized Haar measure. It is a well known consequence of the strong Szego limit theorem that the traces of powers of U converge to independent complex normal random variables as n grows. I will discuss a recent result where
