Obtaining reliable likelihood ratio tests from simulated likelihood functions. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2014 MIXED MODELS: Models allowing for continuous heterogeneity by assuming that value of one or more parameters follow a specified distribution have become increasingly popular. This is known as 'mixing' parameters, and it is standard practice by researchers-

Parameter Estimation with Data-Driven Nonparametric Likelihood Functions. [PDF]
Entropy (Basel), 2019 In this paper, we consider a surrogate modeling approach using a data-driven nonparametric likelihood function constructed on a manifold on which the data lie (or to which they are close).

Consistent inference of a general model using the pseudo-likelihood method [PDF]
, 2014 Recently maximum pseudo-likelihood (MPL) inference method has been successfully applied to statistical physics models with intractable likelihoods. We use information theory to derive a relation between the pseudo-likelihood and likelihood functions.

Proper likelihood functions for parameter estimation in S-shaped models of unperturbed tumor growth. [PDF]
Sci RepThe analysis of unperturbed tumor growth kinetics, particularly the estimation of parameters for S-shaped equations used to describe growth, requires an appropriate likelihood function that accounts for the increasing error in solid tumor measurements as

Comparison Between the Exact Likelihood and Whittle Likelihood for Moving Average Processes
Statistica, 2022 For Gaussian stationary processes, the likelihood functions include the inverse and determinant of the covariance matrices, and Whittle likelihood is considered as a standard technique to avoid expensive matrix determinant and inversions under large ...
