Sentence examples for maximum likelihood which from inspiring English sources
The theorem was immediately applied by American mathematician Joseph Leo Doob to give the first proof of Fisher's law of maximum likelihood, which British statistician Ronald Fisher had put forward as a reliable way to estimate the right parameters in fitting a given probability distribution to a set of data.
The transition functions for mortality and basal area were fitted simultaneously, using the full information maximum likelihood, which produced consistent and efficient estimates contributing to increased precision of model predictions.
Instead, the parameters are usually estimated using the method of maximum likelihood, which is discussed below.
The most frequently applied methods are maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood, which were originally developed in evolutionary biology [ 78].
However, the average likelihood value for that hypothesis is 29% of the maximum likelihood which is clearly lower than the rejection threshold, empirically set to 70%.
This inverse problem usually considers a cost function to be optimized (such as maximum likelihood), which in the case of nonlinear dynamic models must be solved numerically.
We propose a method for maximum likelihood estimation which is an alternative to direct numerical maximization of the likelihood that sometimes exhibits non-convergence problems.
The theoretical lower bound is then compared to the variance of a maximum likelihood estimator which is obtained using a Monte Carlo simulation.
Empirical maximum likelihood kriging, which was designed to deal with skew distributions, can also deal with an atom at the origin of the distribution.
The model coefficients were estimated through maximum likelihood methodology, which was used to produce an unbiased match with the predictions of 3-D analyses and proposed simplified model.
Regional parameter estimates are determined using a maximum likelihood approach, which is carried out with the assumption of second-order nonstationarity.
