We have the well known bias-variance tradeoff for MSE of an estimator $\hat f(x)$: $$MSE(\hat f(x)) = \text{bias}(\hat f(x))^2 + \text{Var}(\hat f(x)) + \sigma^2$$ So with this we can explain why, for ...

The minimzer of the MSE $E[(a-X)^2]$ is $a=E(X)$, and the MSE can be decomposed into $E[(a-X)^2] = E[(a-E(X))^2] + Var(X)$. I am wondering whether there exists a similar expression th MAE $E[|a-X|]$ ...
