The question, in words
Does the error of the estimate shrink as one over the square root of the sample size?
What we expected, and why
The protocol expected the square-root law.
What we did
We ran the estimator at every size.
What happened
The law held (R-4).
What we learned
The slope pools every size, so it is a robust test.
What this does not show
- Anything about another estimator.
