Abstract:
Consider a one dimensional random walk evolving in an i.i.d. random environment. I will explain how to construct estimators for the moments of the environment. I will also use these moment estimators to approximate the distribution function of the environment and show how the speed of the walk affects the convergence rate of the estimators.
