Asymptotic Efficiency

Definition

Asymptotic efficiency describes how well an estimator performs as the sample size grows indefinitely large. In statistical contexts, particularly relevant to protocol design and economic models within digital assets, this concept evaluates an algorithm’s or estimator’s performance limit. It measures the extent to which an estimator approaches the theoretical minimum variance bound. Achieving high asymptotic efficiency indicates optimal resource utilization and precision under theoretical conditions of extensive data.
