Many economically important characteristics of agricultural crops are measured as ordinal traits. Statistical analysis of the genetic basis of ordinal traits appears to be quite different from regular ...

Maximum likelihood and other BAN estimators have been shown to possess certain optimal asymptotic properties in estimating the parameters of probability distributions satisfying specific regularity ...

This article considers inference about the variance of coefficients in time-varying parameter models with stationary regressors. The Gaussian maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) has a large point mass ...

In generalized linear models, the response is assumed to possess a probability distribution of the exponential form. That is, the probability density of the response Y for continuous response ...

Investopedia contributors come from a range of backgrounds, and over 25 years there have been thousands of expert writers and editors who have contributed. Somer G. Anderson is CPA, doctor of ...
