On partial likelihood and the construction of factorisable transformations. [PDF]

open access: yesInf Geom, 2022
Abstract Models whose associated likelihood functions fruitfully factorise are an important minority allowing elimination of nuisance parameters via partial likelihood, an operation that is valuable in both Bayesian and frequentist inferences, particularly when the number of nuisance parameters is not small.

Partial Likelihood Thompson Sampling

open access: yesCoRR, 2022
We consider the problem of deciding how best to target and prioritize existing vaccines that may offer protection against new variants of an infectious disease. Sequential experiments are a promising approach; however, challenges due to delayed feedback and the overall ebb and flow of disease prevalence make available methods inapplicable for this task.

Global Partial Likelihood for Nonparametric Proportional Hazards Models. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Am Stat Assoc, 2010
As an alternative to the local partial likelihood method of Tibshirani and Hastie and Fan, Gijbels, and King, a global partial likelihood method is proposed to estimate the covariate effect in a nonparametric proportional hazards model, λ(t|x) = exp{ψ(x)}λ(0)(t).

How to use χ2 test correctly——the likelihood ratio test and the implementation of SAS software

open access: yesSichuan jingshen weisheng, 2021
The purpose of this article was to introduce the likelihood ratio test and the SAS implementation. Specifically, three definitions of the likelihood ratio test statistics and six more commonly used likelihood ratio test statistics were introduced.

Partial order optimum likelihood (POOL): maximum likelihood prediction of protein active site residues using 3D Structure and sequence properties. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2009
A new monotonicity-constrained maximum likelihood approach, called Partial Order Optimum Likelihood (POOL), is presented and applied to the problem of functional site prediction in protein 3D structures, an important current challenge in genomics.

Quasi-likelihood Estimation in Fractional Levy SPDEs from Poisson Sampling

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Mathematical Analysis, 2022
We study the quasi-likelihood estimator of the drift parameter in the stochastic partial differential equations driven by a cylindrical fractional Levy process when the process is observed at the arrival times of a Poisson process.

Item-Weighted Likelihood Method for Measuring Growth in Longitudinal Study With Tests Composed of Both Dichotomous and Polytomous Items

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2021
In this paper, a new item-weighted scheme is proposed to assess examinees’ growth in longitudinal analysis. A multidimensional Rasch model for measuring learning and change (MRMLC) and its polytomous extension is used to fit the longitudinal item ...

Symptomatic Rotator Cuff Tear Progression: Conservatively Treated Full- and Partial-Thickness Tears Continue to Progress

open access: yesArthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation, 2022
Purpose: To determine the likelihood of and risk factors for tear progression among patients with a symptomatic partial or full-thickness rotator cuff tears (RCTs) who return with continued shoulder pain and obtain subsequent magnetic resonance imaging ...

Phylogenetic estimation with partial likelihood tensors [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Theoretical Biology, 2010
We present an alternative method for calculating likelihoods in molecular phylogenetics. Our method is based on partial likelihood tensors, which are generalizations of partial likelihood vectors, as used in Felsenstein's approach. Exploiting a lexicographic sorting and partial likelihood tensors, it is possible to obtain significant computational ...

A comparative study on the performance of maximum likelihood, generalized least square, scale-free least square, partial least square and consistent partial least square estimators in structural equation modeling [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Data and Network Science, 2022
Structural equation modeling offers various estimation methods for estimating parameters. The most used method in covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) is the maximum likelihood (ML) estimator.
