About This Book
Identification, Equivalent Models, and Computer Algebra provides information pertinent to computer algebra. This book presents a brief discussion of the commutation matrix, an operator that plays a role when derivatives have to be evaluated involving symmetric matrices. Organized into eight chapters, this book begins with an overview of the link between identification of a parameter and the existence of a consistent estimator, and the link between identification of a model and the rank of a Jacobian matrix. This text then describes an algorithm for the determination of the exact rank of a parametrized matrix. Other chapters consider the identification in the simultaneous equation model. This book discusses as well the identification assessment in confirmatory factor analysis, a problem related to the simultaneous equations model. The final chapter deals with various computer programs that the enclosed diskette contains. This book is a valuable resource for readers who are interested in computer algebra.
