Optimal estimation of parameters / Jorma Rissanen, Tampere University of Technology, Helsinki Institute for Information Technology.

"This book presents a comprehensive and consistent theory of estimation. The framework described leads naturally to a generalized maximum capacity estimator. This approach allows the optimal estimation of real-valued parameters, their number and intervals, as well as providing common ground for expl...
