The minimax rate for estimating d-th order moment tensors is sqrt(p/n) wedge 1, while low-degree evidence shows detection of vanishing cumulants is hard for n much less than p to the d/2, creating a reverse detection-estimation gap.

Detection Is Harder Than Estimation in Certain Regimes: Inference for Moment and Cumulant Tensors
The minimax rate for estimating d-th order moment tensors is sqrt(p/n) wedge 1, while low-degree evidence shows detection of vanishing cumulants is hard for n much less than p to the d/2, creating a reverse detection-estimation gap.
