Minimum Hellinger Distance Estimates for Parametric Models

Minimum Hellinger Distance Estimates for Parametric Models

This paper defines and studies for independent identically distributed observations a new parametric estimation procedure which is asymptotically efficient under a specified regular parametric family of densities and is minimax robust in a small Hellinger metric neighborhood of the given family. Associated with the estimator is a goodness-of-fit statistic which …
