This document provides an in-depth overview of the Newton-Raphson (NR) algorithm as applied to nonlinear least squares (NLS) estimation. It discusses the general algorithm, compares it with the Gauss-Newton (GN) algorithm, and presents examples including a parameter and an exogenous variable. Additionally, it explores extensions of basic estimation algorithms to more general cases and outlines the development of GN NLS procedures. Finally, it addresses nonlinear macro-consumption models and emphasizes essential post-estimation analysis techniques.
