Robust Maximum Likelihood Estimation

INFORMS Journal on Computing, 2019
In many applications, statistical estimators serve to derive conclusions from data, for example, in finance, medical decision making, and clinical trials. However, the conclusions are typically dependent on uncertainties in the data. We use robust optimization principles to provide robust maximum likelihood estimators that are protected against data ...

Maximum Likelihood Estimator

Chinese Sociological Review, 2013
Advanced statistical models rely on maximum likelihood (ML) estimators to estimate unknown parameters. Given the complexity and highly technical nature of the numerical approaches embedded in ML, textbooks typically offer oversimplified descriptions of ML, omitting important details from the discussion.

Maximum Likelihood Estimation

2019
This chapter recalls the basics of the estimation method consisting in maximizing the likelihood associated to the observations. The resulting estimators enjoy convenient theoretical properties, being optimal in a wide variety of situations. The maximum likelihood principle will be used throughout the next chapters to fit the supervised learning models.

Moment Estimators and Maximum Likelihood

Biometrika, 1958
where J'q2(x) P(x; 0) dx = Or, J'q(x) qq(x) P(x; 0) dx = 0 (r+ s). (2) To avoid undue complication at this stage we assume P(x; 0) is continuous throughout its range. We reconsider the restrictions on P in a subsequent section.

Maximum Likelihood Estimation

2014
In Chap. 2 you learned that ordinary least squares (OLS) estimation minimizes the squared discrepancy between observed values and fitted ones. This procedure is primarily a descriptive tool, as it identifies the weights we use in our sample to best predict y from x.

Maximum Likelihood Estimation

1997
In the last chapter attention was given to the determination of the state vector1 ξ for given observations Y and known parameters A. In this chapter the maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters \(\lambda = (\theta \prime ,\rho \prime ,\xi {\prime _0})\prime \) of an MS-VAR model is considered.

Maximum Likelihood Estimation

1971
It is possible to develop a number of systems of estimation and nowhere does this seem to be more true than for the estimation of genetic crossover fractions. Several of these fail dismally because of inaccuracy and inefficiency (Fisher and Balmukand, 1928).
