Maximum likelihood estimators for colony-forming units [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum
Measuring the abundance of microbes in a sample is a common procedure with a long history, but best practices are not well-conserved across microbiological fields. Serial dilution methods are commonly used to dilute bacterial cultures to produce countable

Maximum likelihood estimators are ineffective for acoustic detection of rare bat species. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Acoustic monitoring is an important tool for determining presence or probable absence of threatened and endangered bats in the United States (US). Federal guidance requires the use of automated identification programs that classify audio files and ...

New maximum likelihood estimators for eukaryotic intron evolution. [PDF]

PLoS Computational Biology, 2005
The evolution of spliceosomal introns remains poorly understood. Although many approaches have been used to infer intron evolution from the patterns of intron position conservation, the results to date have been contradictory.

Bias reduction of a conditional maximum likelihood estimator for a Gaussian second-order moving average model

Modern Stochastics: Theory and Applications, 2021
In this study, we consider a bias reduction of the conditional maximum likelihood estimators for the unknown parameters of a Gaussian second-order moving average (MA(2)) model.

Minimum Divergence Estimators, Maximum Likelihood and the Generalized Bootstrap

Entropy, 2021
This paper states that most commonly used minimum divergence estimators are MLEs for suited generalized bootstrapped sampling schemes. Optimality in the sense of Bahadur for associated tests of fit under such sampling is considered.

Bayesian Analysis for the Modified Frechet–Exponential Distribution with Covid-19 Application

Cumhuriyet Science Journal, 2023
In this manuscript, the maximum likelihood estimators and Bayes estimators for the parameters of the modified Frechet–exponential distribution. Because the Bayes estimators cannot be obtained in closed forms, the approximate Bayes estimators are computed

The Density of the Maximum Likelihood Estimator

Econometrica, 1999
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.

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

, 2005
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
