A Nerdy Conversation with Anne

K: Am telling you, if we estimate that probability using maximum likelihood, our estimator will be biased, and, moreover, inconsistent.

A: Well then what do you propose?

K: We should think more about it, but my impression is that we have to go non parametric, or maybe use a Generalized Method of Moments ...  yes, that should work.

  4. Please, no posting in tongues. I may have to delete these comments just because I cannot understand whether you are infringing major laws that will send me to jail. Just write in plain English, for crying out loud!
