Some articles on maximum, estimate, maximum likelihood estimate, likelihood estimate, likelihood:
... Maximum-likelihood estimators can lack asymptotic normality and can be inconsistent if there is a failure of one (or more) of the below regularity conditions Estimate on boundary ... Sometimes the maximum likelihood estimate lies on the boundary of the set of possible parameters, or (if the boundary is not, strictly speaking ... If we have enough data, the maximum likelihood estimate will keep away from the boundary too ...
... A quasi-maximum likelihood estimate (QMLE, also known as a "pseudo-likelihood estimate" or a "composite likelihood estimate") is an estimate of a parameter θ in a statistical model ... In contrast, the maximum likelihood estimate maximizes the actual log likelihood function for the data and model ... often a simplified form of the actual log likelihood function ...
Famous quotes containing the words estimate, maximum and/or likelihood:
“Shall we then judge a country by the majority, or by the minority? By the minority, surely. ‘Tis pedantry to estimate nations by the census, or by square miles of land, or other than by their importance to the mind of the time.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Probably the only place where a man can feel really secure is in a maximum security prison, except for the imminent threat of release.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
“Sustained unemployment not only denies parents the opportunity to meet the food, clothing, and shelter needs of their children but also denies them the sense of adequacy, belonging, and worth which being able to do so provides.
