Hedged maximum likelihood estimation

open access: yes, 2010
This paper proposes and analyzes a new method for quantum state estimation, called hedged maximum likelihood (HMLE). HMLE is a quantum version of Lidstone's Law, also known as the "add beta" rule.

Maximum Likelihood Detection for Cooperative Molecular Communication [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
In this paper, symbol-by-symbol maximum likelihood (ML) detection is proposed for a cooperative diffusion-based molecular communication (MC) system. In this system, a fusion center (FC) chooses the transmitter's symbol that is more likely, given the ...

Asymptotic results for maximum likelihood estimators in joint analysis of repeated measurements and survival time [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Statistics 2005, Vol. 33, No. 5, 2132-2163, 2006
Maximum likelihood estimation has been extensively used in the joint analysis of repeated measurements and survival time. However, there is a lack of theoretical justification of the asymptotic properties for the maximum likelihood estimators. This paper intends to fill this gap.

Approximate Profile Maximum Likelihood

open access: yes, 2017
We propose an efficient algorithm for approximate computation of the profile maximum likelihood (PML), a variant of maximum likelihood maximizing the probability of observing a sufficient statistic rather than the empirical sample.

Privacy-preserving Maximum Likelihood Estimation for Distributed Data

open access: yesThe Journal of Privacy and Confidentiality, 2010
Recent technological advances enable the collection of huge amounts of data. Commonly, these data are generated, stored, and owned by multiple entities that are unwilling to cede control of their data. This distributed environment requires statistical

Parameter uncertainties in weighted unbinned maximum likelihood fits

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2022
Parameter estimation via unbinned maximum likelihood fits is central for many analyses performed in high energy physics. Unbinned maximum likelihood fits using event weights, for example to statistically subtract background contributions via the sPlot ...

Maximum-likelihood absorption tomography

open access: yes, 2002
Maximum-likelihood methods are applied to the problem of absorption tomography. The reconstruction is done with the help of an iterative algorithm. We show how the statistics of the illuminating beam can be incorporated into the reconstruction.

A new maximum-likelihood method for template fits

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2022
A common statistical problem in particle physics is to extract the number of samples which originate from a statistical process in an ensemble containing a mix of several contributing processes. The probability density function of each process is usually

Symbolic Maximum Likelihood Estimation with Mathematica [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Mathematica is a symbolic programming language that empowers the user to undertake complicated algebraic tasks. One such task is the derivation of maximum likelihood estimators, demonstrably an important topic in statistics at both the research and ...
