Problems of maximum likelihood estimation are discussed for shape and scale parameters from certain decreasing hazard rate distributions, typically either mixed-exponential or "work-hardened." ...
Bayesian estimation and maximum likelihood methods represent two central paradigms in modern statistical inference. Bayesian estimation incorporates prior beliefs through Bayes’ theorem, updating ...
The Annals of Statistics, Vol. 21, No. 3 (Sep., 1993), pp. 1567-1590 (24 pages) We study in detail asymptotic properties of maximum likelihood estimators of parameters when observations are taken from ...
The following data are taken from Lawless (1982, p.193) and represent the number of days it took rats painted with a carcinogen to develop carcinoma. The last 2 observations are censored data from a ...
We present a maximum-likelihood method for parameter estimation in terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. We derive the likelihood function for a parameterized frequency response function, given a pair ...
In the process of loan pricing, stress testing, capital allocation, modeling of probability of default (PD) term structure and International Financial Reporting Standard 9 expected credit loss ...
