IDENTIFICATION IN PARAMETRIC MODELS BY THOMAS J. ROTHENBERG' A theory of identification is developed for a general stochastic model whose probability law is determined by a finite number of parameters. It is shown under weak regularity conditions that local identifiability of the unknown parameter vector is equivalent to nonsingularity of the information matrix. The use of "reduced-form" parameters to establish identifiability is also analyzed. The general results are applied to the familiar problem of determining whether the coefficients of a system of linear simultaneous equations are identifiable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
