Abstract This thesis is a study of the problem of calculating the least-squares estimates of the parameters in a linear regression model
when the parameter space is restricted to integer points within a
given polyhedron. General observations are made about estimation
of integer-valued parameters, and an integer-quadratic programming
algorithm is given for calculating the estimates. Consistency of this
method of estimation is proved.
Two numerical examples are given to illustrate the method in
the case of simple linear regression.
