Prostate-specific antigen testing accuracy in community practice
BMC 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.

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

Asymptotic Likelihood-Based Prediction Functions
Econometrica, 1990 This paper develops asymptotic prediction functions that approximate the shape of the density of future observations and correct for parameter uncertainty. The functions are based on extensions to a definition of predictive likelihood originally suggested by S. L. Lauritzen (1974) and D. Hinkley (1979).

Model Selection for Discrete Dependent Variables: Better Statistics for Better Steaks
Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, 2004 Little research has been conducted on evaluating out-of-sample forecasts of discrete dependent variables. This study describes the large and small sample properties of two forecast evaluation techniques for discrete dependent variables: receiver-operator

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

Penalized Composite Likelihood Estimation for Spatial Generalized Linear Mixed Models [PDF]
Journal of Sciences, Islamic Republic of IranWhen discussing non-Gaussian spatially correlated variables, generalized linear mixed models have enough flexibility for modeling various data types. However, the maximum likelihood methods are plagued with substantial calculations for large data sets ...
