Likelihood theory is developed to facilitate statistic inference for the parameters of the model under complete observation. We show that these estimators are asymptotically Gaussian unbiased estimates by using a martingale central limit theorem.}, journal = {International Journal of Mathematical and Computational Sciences}, volume = {5}, number = {7}, year = {2011}, pages = {1041 - 1045}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/7330}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/55}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 55, 2011}, }
