A consistent estimator for the binomial distribution in the presence of “incidental parameters”: an application to patent data [PDF]
In this paper a consistent estimator for the Binomial distribution in the presence of incidental parameters, or fixed effects, when the underlying probability is a logistic function is derived.

The Density of the Maximum Likelihood Estimator
In this paper we derive an expression for the exact density of the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) in the case where the MLE is uniquely defined at each point in the sample space by the vanishing of the score vector.

The problem of estimating the mean matrix of a matrix-variate normal distribution with a covariance matrix is considered under two loss functions. We construct a class of empirical Bayes estimators which are better than the maximum likelihood estimator ...

Mean square convergence rates for maximum quasi-likelihood estimator
In this note we study the behavior of maximum quasilikelihood estimators (MQLEs) for a class of statistical models, in which only knowledge about the first two moments of the response variable is assumed.

Statistical analysis of maximum likelihood estimator images of human brain FDG PET studies [PDF]
The work presented evaluates the statistical characteristics of regional bias and expected error in reconstructions of real positron emission tomography (PET) data of human brain fluoro-deoxiglucose (FDG) studies carried out by the maximum likelihood ...

Consistency and asymptotic normality of the maximum likelihood estimator in a zero-inflated generalized Poisson regression [PDF]
Poisson regression models for count variables have been utilized in many applications. However, in many problems overdispersion and zero-inflation occur.
