The minimum variance unbiased estimator of Pr {Y < X} under the assumption that X and Y are independently normally distributed is derived. Approximations to this “best” estimator are obtained, and these approximations are suggested as alternatives to the asymptotically equivalent estimator used by Church and Harris (1970) to obtain confidence intervals for that probability.
