Scope

Many other popular estimation techniques can be cast in terms of GMM optimization:

  • Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) is equivalent to GMM with moment conditions:
  • Generalized Least Squares (GLS)
  • Instrumental variables regression (IV)
  • Non-linear Least Squares (NLLS):
  • Maximum likelihood estimation (MLE):

Famous quotes containing the word scope:

    For it is not the bare words but the scope of the writer that gives the true light, by which any writing is to be interpreted; and they that insist upon single texts, without considering the main design, can derive no thing from them clearly.
    Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)

    Gail Hamilton (1833–1896)

    Revolutions are notorious for allowing even non- participants—even women!—new scope for telling the truth since they are themselves such massive moments of truth, moments of such massive participation.
    Selma James (b. 1930)
