On Consistency of a Class of Estimators for Exponential Families of Markov Random Fields on the Lattice
格点马尔可夫随机场指数族中一类估计量的一致性
We prove strong consistency of a class of maximum objective estimators for exponential parametric families of Markov random fields on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, including both maximum likelihood and pseudolikelihood estimators, using large deviation estimates. We also obtain the optimality property for the maximum likelihood estimator in the sense of Bahadur.
