Profile Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Single-Index Spatial Dynamic Panel Data Model
In this paper, the spatial dynamic panel data (SDPD) model is extended to the single-index spatial dynamic panel data (Si-SDPD) model by introducing a nonlinear connection function to reflect the interaction between explanatory variables.

Generalised likelihood profiles for models with intractable likelihoods
Likelihood profiling is an efficient and powerful frequentist approach for parameter estimation, uncertainty quantification and practical identifiablity analysis. Unfortunately, these methods cannot be easily applied for stochastic models without a tractable likelihood function.

Assessing parameter identifiability for Dynamic Causal Modelling of fMRI data
Deterministic dynamic causal modelling (DCM) for fMRI data is a sophisticated approach to analyse effective connectivity in terms of directed interactions between brain regions of interest. To date it is difficult to know if acquired fMRI data will yield

Challenges of Profile Likelihood Evaluation in Multi-Dimensional SUSY Scans [PDF]
Statistical inference of the fundamental parameters of supersymmetric theories is a challenging and active endeavor. Several sophisticated algorithms have been employed to this end. While Markov-Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and nested sampling techniques are

On Birnbaum-Saunders Inference [PDF]
The Birnbaum-Saunders distribution, also known as the fatigue-life distribution, is frequently used in reliability studies. We obtain adjustments to the Birnbaum--Saunders profile likelihood function. The modified versions of the likelihood function were

Multiplicative-Binomial Distribution: Some Results on Characterization, Inference and Random Data Generation [PDF]
Multiplicative-binomial distribution is one of the distributions that allows for over-dispersion and under-dispersion relative to the standard binomial distribution.

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.

Fletcher-Turek Model Averaged Profile Likelihood Confidence Intervals [PDF]
We evaluate the model averaged profile likelihood confidence intervals proposed by Fletcher and Turek (2011) in a simple situation in which there are two linear regression models over which we average. We obtain exact expressions for the coverage and the

Numerical computation of maximum likelihood estimates (MLE) is one of the most common problems encountered in applied statistics. Even if there exist many algorithms considered as performing, they can suffer in some cases for one or many of the following
