Estimation in the Presence of Infinitely many Nuisance Parameters--Geometry of Estimating Functions
无限多个干扰参数下的估计:估计函数的几何
When there exist nuisance parameters whose number increases in proportion to that of independent observations, it is in general difficult to get a consistent or efficient estimator of a common structural parameter. The present paper proposes a new theory based on a vector bundle consisting of certain random variables over the statistical model. Structures and properties of estimating functions are elucidated in the class of consistent estimators. A necessary and sufficient…
