The method of estimating functions (Godambe, 1991) is commonly used when one desires to conduct inference about some parameters of interest but the full distribution of the observations is unknown.

Population and quantitative genetics theory is built with parameters that describe relatedness, and estimation of these parameters from genetic markers enables progress in fields as disparate as plant ...

The frequencies of the three main mutations have been estimated to be 0.04, 0.01 and 0.02, respectively, for the R702W, G908R and 1007fs variants in Caucasian populations, with relatively large ...

There are two methods of computing confidence intervals for the regression parameters. One is based on the profile likelihood function, and the other is based on the asymptotic normality of the ...
