In this paper, we introduce the extended method of moments (XMM) estimator. This estimator accommodates a more general set of moment restrictions than the standard generalized method of moments (GMM) ...

This paper studies large deviation properties of the generalised method of moments and generalized empirical likelihood estimators for moment restriction models. We consider two cases for the data ...

Relatedness between individuals is central to ecological genetics. Multiple methods are available to quantify relatedness from molecular data, including method-of-moment and maximum-likelihood ...

Identify characteristics of “good” estimators and be able to compare competing estimators. Construct sound estimators using the techniques of maximum likelihood and method of moments estimation.
