In addition to being a considerable talent in each of these three disciplines, and perhaps more importantly, Cliff was the type of person who brought to- gether diverse elements and scholars from all three. Cliff was also a consum- mate mentor, nurturing ideas and students and always striving to bring out the best in both.

In this volume the underlying logic and practice of maximum likelihood (ML) estimation is made clear by providing a general modeling framework that utilizes the tools of ML methods. This framework offers readers a flexible modeling strategy since it accommodates cases from the simplest linear models to the most complex nonlinear models that link a system of endogenous and exogenous variables with non-normal distributions. Using examples to illustrate the techniques of finding ML estimators and estimates, Eliason discusses: what properties are desirable in an estimator; basic techniques for...
