Alexander Shapiro

Open publisher page 42 citations

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the consistency of estimators in the analysis of moment structures. An example is given where in spite of identifiability of the parameters the associated estimator is inconsistent. Consistency is shown to hold under the additional condition of compactness of the parameter space.
