On the reparameterization of models to obtain uncorrelated maximum likelihood estimators

This thesis is concerned primarily with the development of criteria and methods for the reparameterization of models and distributions in order that independent parameter estimators be obtained. The criteria for independence are required not to be functions of the data, which enables their use befor...
