Intro to operators, probabilities, and linear model -- Lp-approximable sequences of vectors -- Convergence of linear and quadratic forms -- Regressions with slowly varying regressors -- Spatial models -- Convergence almost everywhere -- Nonlinear models -- Tools for vector autoregressions

Maximum likelihood estimation is a general method for estimating the parameters of econometric models from observed data. The principle of maximum likelihood plays a central role in the exposition of this book, since a number of estimators used in econometrics can be derived within this...
