SIMULATED MAXIMUM LIKELIHOOD FOR DOUBLE-BOUNDED REFERENDUM MODELS [PDF]
Although joint estimation of referendum-type contingent value (CV) survey responses using maximum-likelihood models is preferred to single-equation estimation, it has been largely disregarded because estimation involves evaluating multivariate normal ...

Taxanes are widely used chemotherapeutics whose effects on cellular mechanics remain poorly understood. We show that paclitaxel induces rapid cellular contraction by promoting GEF‐H1 dissociation from microtubules and non‐muscle myosin II activation through RhoA/ROCK.

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF METHODS FOR ESTIMATING WEIBULL PARAMETERS FOR WIND SPEED DISTRIBUTION IN THE DISTRICT OF MAROUA [PDF]
In this study, five numerical Weibull distribution methods, namely, the maximum likelihood method, the modified maximum likelihood method (MLM), the energy pattern factor method (EPF), the graphical method (GM), and the empirical method (EM) were ...

"Empirical Likelihood-Based Inference in Conditional Moment Restriction Models" [PDF]
This paper proposes an asymptotically efficient method for estimating models with conditional moment restrictions. Our estimator generalizes the maximum empirical likelihood estimator (MELE) of Qin and Lawless (1994).

Restricted Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Variance Components for Univariate Animal Models Using Sparse Matrix Techniques and Average Information [PDF]
An algorithm is described to estimate variance components for a univariate animal model using REML. Sparse matrix techniques are employed to calculate those elements of the inverse of the coefficient matrix required for the first derivatives of the ...

Maximum likelihood parameter estimation for latent variable models using sequential Monte Carlo [PDF]
We present a sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) method for maximum likelihood (ML) parameter estimation in latent variable models. Standard methods rely on gradient algorithms such as the Expectation- Maximization (EM) algorithm and its Monte Carlo variants.

This study identifies ARHGAP5, in addition to the frequently mutated ARHGAP35, as significantly mutated in endometrial cancer. Mutations in both genes co‐occur and are associated with their correlated downregulation. Functional CRISPR studies show that both paralogs regulate similar pathways, including actin cytoskeleton organization.

Multichannel Modified Covariance Estimator of a Single-Tone Frequency
The multichannel modified covariance estimator of a single-tone signal frequency is synthesized by using the maximum likelihood method. It is shown that this estimator has an advantage over the estimator averaged by multiple conventional single-channel ...

A Maximum Likelihood Approach to Estimation of Heath-Jarrow-Morton Models [PDF]
Research on the Heath-Jarrow-Morton (1992) term structure models so far has focused on the class having time-deterministic instantaneous forward rate volatility. In this case the forward rate is Markovian, even if the spot rate process is not.

Robust maximum likelihood training of heteroscedastic probabilistic neural networks
We consider the probabilistic neural network (PNN) that is a mixture of Gaussian basis functions having different variances. Such a Gaussian heteroscedastic PNN is more economic, in terms of the number of kernel functions required, than the Gaussian ...
