Technical Terms Bernstein polynomials: Polynomial functions that serve as building blocks for approximating continuous functions on closed intervals.

A parametrization exists for which the log-likelihood function is a quadratic form in the parameter. The derived structure of these models is utilized to show that they have nice statistical ...
