Abstract
Maximum likelihood procedures are very much in favor among those interested in parameter estimation, and as mentioned in Chapter 5 for good reason. However, ML methods are not the only estimation methods. Very frequently used alternatives to maximum likelihood are various methods using linear and non-linear least squares. In this chapter we examine the use of these procedures for estimation of gravity model parameters.
