The problem of obtaining maximum likelihood estimates for the multinomial distribution is considered. Maximum likelihood estimation is applied to the particular problem of estimating overlap sizes ...
Marshall and Proschan (1965) showed that the MLE for a life distribution with increasing failure rate is strongly consistent. In this note we show that the MLE for a life distribution with increasing ...
Bayesian estimation and maximum likelihood methods represent two central paradigms in modern statistical inference. Bayesian estimation incorporates prior beliefs through Bayes’ theorem, updating ...
