Likelihood decision functions [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

Machine learning of log-likelihood functions in global analysis of parton distributions

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2022
Modern analysis on parton distribution functions (PDFs) requires calculations of the log-likelihood functions from thousands of experimental data points, and scans of multi-dimensional parameter space with tens of degrees of freedom.

Prostate-specific antigen testing accuracy in community practice

open access: yesBMC Family Practice, 2002
Background Most data on prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing come from urologic cohorts comprised of volunteers for screening programs. We evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of PSA testing for detecting prostate cancer in community practice.

Estimations of Modified Lindley Parameters Using Progressive Type-II Censoring with Applications

open access: yesAxioms, 2023
This study addresses the estimation problems of the modified Lindley distribution using a progressive Type-II censoring plan. Using the maximum likelihood and maximum product of spacing and Bayesian estimation methods, the unknown parameter, reliability,

A New Numerical Algorithm of Three Parameter Generalized Extreme Value Distribution of Wind Speed [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2021
Maximum likelihood estimation method is used to solve the problem of parameter estimation of three-parameter generalized extreme value distribution. Based on the theory of order reducing,a new numerical algorithm is presented to resolve the problem of ...

Quasi-likelihood for Spatial Point Processes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Fitting regression models for intensity functions of spatial point processes is of great interest in ecological and epidemiological studies of association between spatially referenced events and geographical or environmental covariates.

Transmission Potential of Rift Valley Fever Virus over the Course of the 2010 Epidemic in South Africa

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2013
A Rift Valley fever (RVF) epidemic affecting animals on domestic livestock farms was reported in South Africa during January–August 2010. The first cases occurred after heavy rainfall, and the virus subsequently spread countrywide.

Testable likelihoods for beyond-the-standard model fits

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2023
Studying potential BSM effects at the precision frontier requires accurate transfer of information from low-energy measurements to high-energy BSM models.

Renormalization group computation of likelihood functions for cosmological data sets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
I show how a renormalization group (RG) method can be used to incrementally integrate the information in cosmological large-scale structure data sets (including CMB, galaxy redshift surveys, etc.).
