In an influential work, Qin and Lawless (1994) proposed a general estimating equations (GEE) formulation for maximum empirical likelihood (MEL) estimation and inference. The formulation replaces a model specified by GEE with a set of data-supported probability mass functions that satisfy...

As a basis for information recovery in open dynamic microeconomic systems, we emphasize the connection between adaptive intelligent behavior, causal entropy maximization and self-organized equilibrium seeking behavior. This entropy-based causal adaptive behavior framework permits the use of...

In this paper, we borrow some of the key concepts of nonequilibrium statistical systems, to develop a framework for analyzing a self-organizing-optimizing system of independent interacting agents, with nonlinear dynamics at the macro level that is based on stochastic individual behavior at the...
