    • ]]>     “Comparing Apples and Oranges: Two Examples of the Limits of Statistical Inference, With an Application to Google Advertising Markets” is our analysis of Google AdSense Channel IDs and our use of the Cramer Rao bound to show that these IDs fundamentally limit what participants in the Google online advertising market can measure (and therefore in turn limit what these players can do).

    We also include a entry level exposition and examples of what the Cramer Rao Inequality is and how it works.

    This is a repost of an older paper- but a few people have pointed out they were put off by the incredibly uninformative title of the original post “New Paper.”
