Statistical Inference Based on Pseudo-Maximum Likelihood Estimators in Elliptical Populations
椭圆总体中基于伪最大似然估计的统计推断
In this article we develop statistical inference based on the maximum likelihood method in elliptical populations with an unknown density function. The method assuming the multivariate normal distribution, using the sample mean and the sample covariance matrix, is basically correct even for elliptical populations under a certain kurtosis adjustment, but is not statistically efficient, especially when the kurtosis of the population distribution has higher than moderate…
