Efficient and Adaptive Estimation for Semiparametric Models (1998 ed.)

This book deals with estimation in situations in which there is believed to be enough information to model parametrically some, but not all of the features of a data set.

Such models have arisen in a wide context in recent years, and involve new nonlinear estimation procedures.

Statistical models of this type are directly applicable to fields such as economics, epidemiology, and astronomy.
