An improved saddlepoint approximation
Given a set of third- or higher-order moments, not only is the saddlepoint approximation the only realistic \u27family-free\u27 technique available for constructing an associated probability distribution, but it is \u27optimal\u27 in the sense that it is

Exact Distribution Theory in Structural Estimation with an Identity [PDF]
Some exact distribution theory is developed for structural equation models with and without identities. The theory includes LIML, IV and OLS. We relate the new results to earlier studies in the literature, including the pioneering work of Bergstrom (1962)

Saddlepoint approximations as smoothers
, 2017 This note investigates the sense in which saddlepoint approximations act as smoothers of discrete distributions. The discrete problem is embedded in a continuous model that closely matches it on the discrete sample space, with saddlepoint approximation ...
