Gong and Samaniego (1981) define pseudo maximum likelihood estimation and derive the asymptotic distribution of the resulting estimates. This note gives a simpler and more elegant expression for the ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Asymptotic properties of estimators for the confirmatory factor analysis model are discussed. The model is identified by restrictions on the ...

Bernstein polynomial estimation provides a robust nonparametric technique for approximating both density and distribution functions. Based on the properties of Bernstein polynomials, which uniformly ...
