Abstract: | Real valued M-estimators
in a statistical model 1 with observations
are replaced by
-valued M-estimators
in a new model with observations
where
are regressors,
is a structural parameter and
a structural function of the new model. Sufficient conditions for the consistency of
are derived, motivated by the sufficiency conditions for the simpler parent estimator
The result is a general method of consistent estimation in a class of nonlinear (pseudolinear) statistical problems. If F
has a natural exponential density ex–b( x ) then our pseudolinear model with u = (g o )–1 reduces to the well known generalized linear model, provided () = db()/d and g is the so-called link function of the generalized linear model. General results are illustrated for special pairs and leading to some classical M-estimators of mathematical statistics, as well as to a new class of generalized -quantile estimators. |
