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 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, ...

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 ...

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

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 ...
