Numerical Methods for Nonlinear Estimating Equations

Numerical Methods for Nonlinear Estimating Equations (Oxford Statistical Science Series) by Christopher G. Small (Repost) Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA (December 11, 2003) | ISBN: 0198506880 | Pages: 328 | PDF | 3.17 MB Non linearity arises in statistical inference in various ways, with varying degrees of severity, as an obstacle to statistical analysis. More entrenched forms of nonlinearity often require intensive numerical methods to construct estimators, and the use of root search algorithms, or one-step estimators, is a standard method of solution. This book provides a comprehensive study of nonlinear estimating equations and artificial likelihood's for statistical inference. It provides extensive coverage and comparison of hill climbing algorithms, which when started at points of nonconcavity often have very poor convergence properties, and for additional flexibility proposes a number of modification to the standard methods for solving these algorithms. The book also extends beyond simple root search algorithms to include a discussion of the testing of roots for consistency, and the modification of available estimating functions to provide greater stability in inference. A variety of examples from practical applications are included to illustrate the problems and possibilities thus making this text ideal for the research statistician and graduate student.

Thats not my description. I've upped it from some non-torrent site and I don't bother thank them as they distribute for money. Knowledge can never be measured in money. Thanx to TPB a lot whole my life.
