On the estimation of the structure parameter of a normal distribution of order p

In this paper we compare four different approaches to estimate the structure parameter of a normal distribution of order p (often called exponential power distribution). In particular, we have considered the maximization of the log-likelihood, of the profile log-likelihood, of the conditional profil...
