A Large Deviation Result for Parameter Estimators and its Application to Nonlinear Regression Analysis
参数估计量的大偏差结果及其在非线性回归中的应用
Elaborating on the work of Ibragimov and Has'minskii (1981) we prove a law of large deviations (LLD) for $M$-estimators, i.e., those estimators which maximize a functional, continuous in the parameter, of the observations. This LLD is applied, using the results of Petrov (1975), to the problem of parametrical nonlinear regression in the situation of discrete time, independent errors and regression functions which are continuous in the parameter. This improves a result of…
