TL;DRAbstract

A simple model of the m-cornered hat estimation problem is set up and solved by the method of maximum likelihood. The method is compared by simulation to a least-squares method of Barnes and is shown to be inferior to it on the basis of mean square error. A bootstrap method of computing estimator performance is presented.
