Slay the Shear: A Unified Statistical Framework for Weak Gravitational Lensing Shear Estimation
Unified framework proves the score function yields the minimum-variance unbiased shear estimator and that response-weighted inverse-variance weights minimize shape noise independent of galaxy shape distributions, with RDSM reducing noise by ~17.5% at LSST depth.
