An Automated Profile-Likelihood-Based Algorithm for Fast Computation of the Maximum Likelihood Estimate in a Statistical Model for Crash Data

Journal of Applied Mathematics, 2022
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

Profile likelihood for estimation and confidence intervals [PDF]

, 2017
Normal-based confidence intervals for a parameter of interest are inaccurate when the sampling distribution of the estimate is nonnormal. The technique known as profile likelihood can produce confidence intervals with better coverage. It may be used when

Likelihood decision functions [PDF]

, 2012
In both classical and Bayesian approaches, statistical inference is unified and generalized by the corresponding decision theory. This is not the case for the likelihood approach to statistical inference, in spite of the manifest success of the ...

On the estimation of the structure parameter of a normal distribution of order p

Statistica, 2007
In this paper we compare four different approaches to estimate the structure parameter of a normal distribution of order p (often called exponential power distribution).

Internalizing Symptom Profiles Among Youth in Foster Care: A Comparison Study

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2021
Background: A high prevalence of anxiety and depression is found among youth in foster care. There is limited knowledge on the anxiety and depression symptom profiles of youth in foster care. We examined latent profiles of anxiety and depression symptoms
