maximum likelihood

n Statistics

1. (Mathematics & Measurements / Statistics) the probability of randomly drawing a given sample from a population maximized over the possible values of the population parameters

2. (Mathematics & Measurements / Statistics) the non-Bayesian rule that, given an experimental observation, one should utilize as point estimates of parameters of a distribution those values which give the highest conditional probability to that observation, irrespective of the prior probability assigned to the parameters

Bayesian likelihood			He also provides an overview of maximum likelihood estimation and iteratively reweighted least squares estimation, methods used in estimating logistic models. Logistic regression models by SciTech Book News Choosing breadth over depth, they survey a wide range of topics, among them maximum likelihood and Bayesian estimation, different types of spatial regression specifications such as the spatial auto-regressive and matrix exponential, applied modeling situations involving different circumstances including origin-destination flows, limited dependent variables, and space-time data samples. Introduction to spatial econometrics by Reference & Research Book News This paper provides an Edgeworth expansion for the distribution of the maximum likelihood estimators (MLE) of the parameter of a time series generated by a linear regression model with Gaussian, stationary, long-memory errors.
