Maximum likelihood estimation in Gaussian models under total positivity [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Statistics, 2017
We analyze the problem of maximum likelihood estimation for Gaussian distributions that are multivariate totally positive of order two (MTP2). By exploiting connections to phylogenetics and single-linkage clustering, we give a simple proof that the ...

Nonparametric Sieve Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Semi-Competing Risks Data

open access: yesMathematics, 2022
In biomedical studies involving time-to-event data, a subject may experience distinct types of events. We consider the problem of estimating the transition functions for a semi-competing risks model under illness-death model framework.

Disjoint Tree Mergers for Large-Scale Maximum Likelihood Tree Estimation

open access: yesAlgorithms, 2021
The estimation of phylogenetic trees for individual genes or multi-locus datasets is a basic part of considerable biological research. In order to enable large trees to be computed, Disjoint Tree Mergers (DTMs) have been developed; these methods operate ...

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 ...

Estimation of servo-system parameters using maximum likelihood method

open access: yesVojnotehnički Glasnik, 1998
The problem of estimation of servo system parameters that cannot be measured is solved. Unknown parameters are estimated using system response measurements. A special discrete, recursive and iterative form of maximum likelihood method is presented.

Maximum Likelihood Estimation for Linear Gaussian Covariance Models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We study parameter estimation in linear Gaussian covariance models, which are $p$-dimensional Gaussian models with linear constraints on the covariance matrix.

Jackknifing Maximum Likelihood Estimates

open access: yesThe Annals of Statistics, 1978
This paper proves the apparently outstanding conjecture that the maximum likelihood estimate (m.l.e.) "behaves properly" when jackknifed. In particular, under the usual Cramer conditions (1) the jackknifed version of the consistent root of the m.l.

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 estimation for semiparametric transformation models with interval-censored data [PDF]

open access: yesBiometrika, 2016
Interval censoring arises frequently in clinical, epidemiological, financial and sociological studies, where the event or failure of interest is known only to occur within an interval induced by periodic monitoring.
