Approximate maximum likelihood estimation for a spatial point pattern.

Jorge Mateu, Francisco Montes (2000)

Qüestiió

Similarity:

Several authors have proposed stochastic and non-stochastic approximations to the maximum likelihood estimate for a spatial point pattern. This approximation is necessary because of the difficulty of evaluating the normalizing constant. However, it appears to be neither a general theory which provides grounds for preferring a particular method, nor any extensive empirical comparisons. In this paper, we review five general methods based on approximations to the maximum likelihood estimate...

A note on the existence of the maximum likelihood estimate in variance components models

Mariusz Grządziel, Andrzej Michalski (2014)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

In the paper, the problem of the existence of the maximum likelihood estimate and the REML estimate in the variance components model is considered. Errors in the proof of Theorem 3.1 in the article of Demidenko and Massam (Sankhyā 61, 1999), giving a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of the maximum likelihood estimate in this model, are pointed out and corrected. A new proof of Theorem 3.4 in the Demidenko and Massam's article, concerning the existence of the REML...

Likelihood for random-effect models (with discussion).

Youngjo Lee, John A. Nelder (2005)

SORT

Similarity:

For inferences from random-effect models Lee and Nelder (1996) proposed to use hierarchical likelihood (h-likelihood). It allows influence from models that may include both fixed and random parameters. Because of the presence of unobserved random variables h-likelihood is not a likelihood in the Fisherian sense. The Fisher likelihood framework has advantages such as generality of application, statistical and computational efficiency. We introduce an extended likelihood framework and...

Likelihood and quasi - likelihood estimation of transition probabilities

Ewa Bakinowska, Radosław Kala (2004)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

In the paper two approaches to the problem of estimation of transition probabilities are considered. The approach by McCullagh and Nelder [5], based on the independent model and the quasi-likelihood function, is compared with the approach based on the marginal model and the standard likelihood function. The estimates following from these two approaches are illustrated on a simple example which was used by McCullagh and Nelder.
