Linear least-squares regression with a "design" matrix A approximates a given matrix B via minimization of the spectral- or Frobenius-norm discrepancy ||AX-B|| over every conformingly sized matrix X. Another popular approximation is…
In numerous regular statistical models, median bias reduction (Kenne Pagui et al., 2017) has proven to be a noteworthy improvement over maximum likelihood, alternative to mean bias reduction. The estimator is obtained as solution to a…
