Abstract:
A general class of minimum distance estimators for logistic regression models based on the ϕ-divergence measures is introduced:
The minimum ϕ-divergence estimator, which is seen to be a generalization of the maximum likelihood estimator. Its asymptotic
properties are studied as well as its behaviour in small samples throught a simulation study.
