P. Jupp - Yoke Geometry in Parametric Inference

A basic structure in the differential-geometric approach to higher-order statistical asymptotics is that of a yoke. The role of yoke geometry will be illustrated by three topics:

(i) cubic modifications of score tests,
(ii) parameterisation-invariant versions of Wald tests,
(iii) modifications of likelihood functions. [an error occurred while processing this directive]
