SUMMARY
The Ordinary Least Squares Method (OLS) is the most popular method to estimate the parameters of linear models. When the models are non-linear in parameters, alternative estimation methods are needed. The most commonly used are: Non-Linear Least Squares (NLLS), Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) and Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) method. On this class we focus on alternative estimation techniques for estimating equations that are nonlinear in the parameters.
