A Unified Robust Inference Framework for Univariate and Multivariate Nonlinear Statistical Models
Keywords:
Nonlinear regression; robust estimation; MM-estimators; sandwich covariance; wild bootstrap; influence function; multivariate nonlinear models; heteroscedasticityAbstract
Nonlinear regression models underpin quantitative work across the biological, physical,pharmacological, and economic sciences, yet the inferential machinery most practitioners rely on—ordinary nonlinear least squares (NLS) together with the classical asymptotic covariance
