‘Higher-order functions’ is a fancy term for functions that take other functions as arguments or that return functions. Very powerful!

Next time, I'm going to show how you can leverage datatyping your functions when passing functions as parameters (implementing the strategy pattern) or when returning functions from a function ...

The problem of estimating from a sample a confidence region for the parameters of the distribution of maximum values is treated by setting up what are called "statistical estimation functions" ...

This paper is concerned with the estimation of Cobb-Douglas production function parameters by the analysis of variance, using combined time-series and cross-section data. Some theoretical development ...

In the past two columns, we’ve looked at higher-order functions and talked a little bit about the power of functional programming. So far, the concepts we’ve covered do little to indicate how ...
