The fourth-root thing

Read Original

This article delves into the statistical theory behind estimator consistency, focusing on the 'fourth-root' condition where nuisance parameter estimators converge at a rate of op(n^{-1/4}). It examines asymptotic distributions, Taylor expansions, and applications in Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) and raking, while seeking historical references for the concept.
