Query: Distributed Statistical Estimation and Rates of Convergence in Normal
  Approximation   This paper presents a class of new algorithms for distributed statistical
estimation that exploit divide-and-conquer approach. We show that one of the
key benefits of the divide-and-conquer strategy is robustness, an important
characteristic for large distributed systems. We establish connections between
performance of these distributed algorithms and the rates of convergence in
normal approximation, and prove non-asymptotic deviations guarantees, as well
as limit theorems, for the resulting estimators. Our techniques are illustrated
through several examples: in particular, we obtain new results for the
median-of-means estimator, as well as provide performance guarantees for
distributed maximum likelihood estimation.
