Dear S+ specialists,

I have a mathematical problem to solve and can't find a proper solution:

given a function B=f(b,c) under the assumption that ~N(c(b,c),var(b,c)),
where b and c are the maximum liklihood estimates of b and c (or estimates
of an M-estimation), find the estimate of variance var(B).

I will send a summary to the list.

Sincerely,
Ekkehardt Altpeter
