One estimate of a symmetric location cumulative distribution function F{x - θ) is obtained by symmetrizing the sample cumulative distribution function with respect to the estimated centre of symmetry θ. We prove an earlier conjecture that if θ is asymptotically efficient, then the symmetrized estimated cumulative distribution function is uniformly superior to the sample distribution function.
