Evidential Estimation of an Uncertain Mixed Exponential Distribution under Progressive Censoring
In this paper, the evidential estimation method for the parameters of the mixed exponential distribution is considered when a sample is obtained from Type-II progressively censored data.

Split Sample Empirical Likelihood [PDF]
We propose a new approach that combines multiple non-parametric likelihood-type components to build a data-driven approximation of the true likelihood function. Our approach is built on empirical likelihood, a non-parametric approximation of the likelihood function.

Statistical inference of random graphs with a surrogate likelihood function [PDF]
Spectral estimators have been broadly applied to statistical network analysis but they do not incorporate the likelihood information of the network sampling model. This paper proposes a novel surrogate likelihood function for statistical inference of a class of popular network models referred to as random dot product graphs.

Identification of novel small molecule inhibitors of ETS transcription factors
ETS transcription factors play an essential role in tumourigenesis and are indispensable for sprouting angiogenesis, a hallmark of cancer, which fuels tumour expansion and dissemination. Thus, targeting ETS transcription factor function could represent an effective, multifaceted strategy to block tumour growth. The evolutionarily conserved E‐Twenty‐Six

Maximum Likelihood for Matrices with Rank Constraints [PDF]
Maximum likelihood estimation is a fundamental optimization problem in statistics. We study this problem on manifolds of matrices with bounded rank. These represent mixtures of distributions of two independent discrete random variables.

Maximum likelihood degree of Fermat hypersurfaces via Euler characteristics [PDF]
Maximum likelihood degree of a projective variety is the number of critical points of a general likelihood function. In this note, we compute the Maximum likelihood degree of Fermat hypersurfaces. We give a formula of the Maximum likelihood degree in terms of the constants $\beta_{\mu, \nu}$, which is defined to be the number of complex solutions to ...

In lymphoid organs, antigen recognition and B cell receptor signaling rely on integrins and the cytoskeleton. Integrins act as mechanoreceptors, couple B cell receptor activation to cytoskeletal remodeling, and support immune synapse formation as well as antigen extraction.

Likelihood Consensus and Its Application to Distributed Particle Filtering
We consider distributed state estimation in a wireless sensor network without a fusion center. Each sensor performs a global estimation task---based on the past and current measurements of all sensors---using only local processing and local ...

Generalized Topp-Leone family of distributions
Background & Aim: Adding parameters to an existing distribution to expand the family of distributions is a very common approach for developing more flexible models.
