In this note we examine the e ciency of averaging marginal quasi-medians as compared to averaging marginal sample means when estimating a common location parameter given multivariate normal data. It is shown that the e ciency of certain quasi-medians approach that of the sample mean as the dimension
For the multivariate log-concave distribution, it is shown that the hazard gradient is increasing in the sense of Johnson and Kotz. As an immediate consequence, the result of Gupta and Gupta (1997) on the multivariate normal hazard is obtained.
