Abstract
In this note we discuss the statistical problem of estimating the mean of a random vector based on independent, identically distributed data. This classical problem has recently attracted a lot of attention both in mathematical statistics and in theoretical computer science and numerous intricacies have been revealed. We discuss some of the recent advances, focusing on high-dimensional aspects.
