Maximum kernel likelihood estimation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We introduce an estimator for the population mean based on maximizing likelihoods formed by parameterizing a kernel density estimate. Due to these origins, we have dubbed the estimator the maximum kernel likelihood estimate (mkle). A speedy computational

Particle methods for maximum likelihood estimation in latent variable models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Standard methods for maximum likelihood parameter estimation in latent variable models rely on the Expectation-Maximization algorithm and its Monte Carlo variants.

A simple approach to maximum intractable likelihood estimation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) can be viewed as an analytic approximation of an intractable likelihood coupled with an elementary simulation step.

Maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters of a system of simultaneous regression equations [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
Procedures for computing the full information maximum likelihood (FIML) estimates of the parameters of a system of simultaneous regression equations have been described by Koopmans, Rubin, and Leipnik, Chernoff and Divinsky, Brown, and Eisenpress ...

Warranty Claim Forecasting Based On Weighted Maximum Likelihood Estimation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Warranty claims reported in recent months might carry more up-to-date information than those reported in earlier months. Using weighted maximum likelihood estimation for estimating model parameters might therefore lead to better performance of warranty ...

An Automated Profile-Likelihood-Based Algorithm for Fast Computation of the Maximum Likelihood Estimate in a Statistical Model for Crash Data

open access: yesJournal of Applied Mathematics, 2022
Numerical computation of maximum likelihood estimates (MLE) is one of the most common problems encountered in applied statistics. Even if there exist many algorithms considered as performing, they can suffer in some cases for one or many of the following

Maximum likelihood estimation of Wiener models [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 39th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (Cat. No.00CH37187), 2002
A Wiener model consists of a linear dynamic system followed by a static nonlinearity. The input and output are measured, but not the intermediate signal. We discuss the maximum likelihood estimate for Gaussian measurement and process noise, and the special cases when one of the noise sources is zero.

Statistical Inference for Geometric Process with the Power Lindley Distribution

open access: yesEntropy, 2018
The geometric process (GP) is a simple and direct approach to modeling of the successive inter-arrival time data set with a monotonic trend. In addition, it is a quite important alternative to the non-homogeneous Poisson process.

Semi-Nonparametric Maximum Likelihood Estimation [PDF]

open access: yesEconometrica, 1987
The density of Hermite forms: \[ h(u)=P^ 2_ k(u-\tau)\Phi^ 2(u| \tau,diag(\gamma)) \] where \(P_ k\) is a polynomial of degree K and \(\Phi\) is the density function of the multivariate normal distribution is shown to be capable of approximating any density arbitrarily closely subject to minimal qualifications relating to compactness, denseness ...

Bayes and Non-Bayes Estimation of Change Point in Nonstandard Mixture Inverse Weibull Distribution

open access: yesJournal of Statistical Theory and Applications (JSTA), 2019
We consider a sequence of independent random variables X1,X2,…,Xm,…,Xnn≥3 exhibiting a change in the probability distribution of the data generating mechanism.
