However, there are many different ways of constructing an appropriate distance between the data and the model: the scope of study referred to by ""Minimum Distance Estimation"" is literally huge. Filling a statistical resource gap, Statistical Inference: The Minimum Distance Approach comprehensively overviews developments in density-based minimum distance inference for independently and identically distributed data. Extensions to other more complex models are also discussed. Compr
