Gentleman & Geyer (1994) discuss the analysis of interval censored data and present results based on standard convex optimisation theory. Here, this problem is viewed from the perspective of a mixing ...

This example and notation are taken from Bard (1974). A two-equation model is used to fit U.S. production data for the years 1909-1949, where z 1 is capital input, z 2 is labor input, z 3 is real ...

This note contains two examples, concerning independent observations from a fixed population of real values, where maximum likelihood estimates of the population distribution function do not converge, ...

Mixed model analyses via restricted maximum likelihood, fitting the so-called animal model, have become standard methodology for the estimation of genetic variances. Models involving multiple genetic ...

The challenge of using small sample sizes for operational risk capital models fitted via maximum likelihood estimation is well recognized, yet the literature generally provides warning examples rather ...

and is the normal probability function. This is the likelihood function for a binary probit model. This likelihood is strictly positive so that you can take a square root of and use this as your ...

Although epistasis is an important phenomenon in the genetics and evolution of complex traits, epistatic effects are hard to estimate. The main problem is due to the overparameterized epistatic ...
