Maximum Likelihood Estimate

Famous quotes containing the words maximum, likelihood and/or estimate:

    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. This increases the likelihood of family problems and decreases the chances of many children to be adequately prepared for school.
    James P. Comer (20th century)

    Value dwells not in particular will;
    It holds his estimate and dignity
    As well wherein ‘tis precious of itself
    As in the prizer.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
