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

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]
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.

Stress-strength reliability under partially accelerated life testing using Weibull model
The reliability of a system is the probability that its strength exceeds its stress. This reliability is called as the stress-strength reliability. The inferences of the stress-strength reliability R=P(X>Y), when: (1) the strength (X) and stress (Y) are ...

Residual and forecast methods in time series models with covariates [PDF]
We are dealing with time series which are measured on an arbitrary scale, e.g. on a categorical or ordinal scale, and which are recorded together with time varying covariates.
