In certain multivariate problems the full probability density has an awkward normalizing constant, but the conditional and/or marginal distributions may be much more tractable. In this paper we ...

Relatedness between individuals is central to ecological genetics. Multiple methods are available to quantify relatedness from molecular data, including method-of-moment and maximum-likelihood ...

It is known that, as statistical methods, the maximum entropy estimation is equivalent to the maximum likelihood estimation with an exponential distribution. But, it is seen that the relation between ...

There are three SAS procedures that enable you to do maximum likelihood estimation of parameters in an arbitrary model with a likelihood function that you define: PROC MODEL, PROC NLP, and PROC IML.

The following data are taken from Lawless (1982, p.193) and represent the number of days it took rats painted with a carcinogen to develop carcinoma. The last 2 observations are censored data from a ...
