Description

M-estimation, or estimating equation, methods are widely applicable for point estimation and asymptotic inference. In this paper, we present an R package that can find
roots and compute the empirical sandwich variance estimator for any set of user-specified,
unbiased estimating equations. Examples from the M-estimation primer by Stefanski and
Boos (2002) demonstrate use of the software. The package also includes a framework
for finite sample, heteroscedastic, and autocorrelation variance corrections, and a website
with an extensive collection of tutorials.
