A likelihood function for the frequency of the A1 allele when 2 A1 alleles are observed in a sample of 10 alleles. The vertical dashed line is drawn through the maximum value of the likelihood ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
