Maximum Likelihood, Profile Likelihood, and Penalized Likelihood: A Primer [PDF]
American Journal of Epidemiology, 2013 The method of maximum likelihood is widely used in epidemiology, yet many epidemiologists receive little or no education in the conceptual underpinnings of the approach. Here we provide a primer on maximum likelihood and some important extensions which have proven useful in epidemiologic research, and which reveal connections between maximum likelihood

Advances in Mathematics, 2023 Computing all critical points of a monomial on a very affine variety is a fundamental task in algebraic statistics, particle physics and other fields. The number of critical points is known as the maximum likelihood (ML) degree. When the variety is smooth, it coincides with the Euler characteristic.

How likelihood and identification went Bayesian [PDF]
, 2001 This paper considers how the concepts of likelihood and identification became part of Bayesian theory. This makes a nice study in the development of concepts in statistical theory.

Likelihood decision functions [PDF]
, 2012 In both classical and Bayesian approaches, statistical inference is unified and generalized by the corresponding decision theory. This is not the case for the likelihood approach to statistical inference, in spite of the manifest success of the ...

Fuzzy logic based social trust computation scheme in Flying Ad-hoc network [PDF]
Journal of Fuzzy Extension and ApplicationsThe Flying Ad Hoc Networks (FANETs) are becoming more popular in civic security, military, and multipurpose applications. Owing to its wireless nature and infrastructure-less architecture, the network has some additional security concerns that must be ...

Unsupervised Classification under Uncertainty: The Distance-Based Algorithm
Mathematics, 2023 This paper presents a method for unsupervised classification of entities by a group of agents with unknown domains and levels of expertise. In contrast to the existing methods based on majority voting (“wisdom of the crowd”) and their extensions by ...

Satellite Based Localization of IoT Devices Using Joint Doppler and Angle-of-Arrival Estimation
Remote Sensing, 2023 While global navigation satellite system (GNSS) technologies have always been the go-to solution for localization problems, they may not be the best choice for some Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications due to the incurred power consumption and cost.

Likelihood for statistically equivalent models [PDF]
, 2009 In likelihood inference we usually assume that the model is fixed and then base inference on the corresponding likelihood function. Often, however, the choice of model is rather arbitrary, and there may be other models which fit the data equally well. We
