Applications of Differential Geometry to Econometrics [Paperback]

Originally published in 2000, this volume was an early example of the application of differential geometry to econometrics.Differential Geometry has become a standard tool in the analysis of statistical models, offering a deeper appreciation of existing methodologies and highlighting the issues which can be hidden in an algebraic development of a problem. This volume is the first to apply these techniques to econometrics. An introductory chapter provides a brief tutorial for those unfamiliar with the tools of Differential Geometry. The following chapters offer applications of geometric methods to practical solutions and offer insight into problems of econometric inference.Differential Geometry has become a standard tool in the analysis of statistical models, offering a deeper appreciation of existing methodologies and highlighting the issues which can be hidden in an algebraic development of a problem.
