General moment methods for a class of nonlinear models

This paper deals with the following problems: (1) the development of a general theory which incorporates several methods as special cases; (2) the applicability of moment methods to a class of nonlinear problems, (3) the specification of the class of admissible weighting functions; (4) the estimation of the number of parameters; (5) the elimination of the cutoff error in the analysis of fluorescence decay data.
