Likelihood decision functions [PDF]
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 ...

THE LIKELIHOOD EQUATION, CONSISTENCY AND THE MAXIMA OF THE LIKELIHOOD FUNCTION [PDF]
The articles published by the Annals of Eugenics (1925–1954) have been made available online as an historical archive intended for scholarly use. The work of eugenicists was often pervaded by prejudice against racial, ethnic and disabled groups. The online publication of this material for scholarly research purposes is not an endorsement of those views

Likelihood-enhanced fast translation functions [PDF]
This paper is a companion to a recent paper on fast rotation functions [Storoni et al. (2004), Acta Cryst. D60, 432-438], which showed how a Taylor-series expansion of the maximum-likelihood rotation function leads to improved likelihood-enhanced fast rotation functions.

As modern data analysis pushes the boundaries of classical statistics, it is timely to reexamine alternate approaches to dealing with outliers in multiple regression.

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

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

Jeffreys-prior penalty, finiteness and shrinkage in binomial-response generalized linear models [PDF]
Penalization of the likelihood by Jeffreys' invariant prior, or by a positive power thereof, is shown to produce finite-valued maximum penalized likelihood estimates in a broad class of binomial generalized linear models.

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.

Prostate-specific antigen testing accuracy in community practice
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
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,
