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...

Variance function estimation via model selection

Teresa Ledwina, Jan Mielniczuk (2010)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

The problem of estimating an unknown variance function in a random design Gaussian heteroscedastic regression model is considered. Both the regression function and the logarithm of the variance function are modelled by piecewise polynomials. A finite collection of such parametric models based on a family of partitions of support of an explanatory variable is studied. Penalized model selection criteria as well as post-model-selection estimates are introduced based on Maximum Likelihood...

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.

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...

On some properties of ML and REML estimators in mixed normal models with two variance components

Stanisław Gnot, Andrzej Michalski, Agnieszka Urbańska-Motyka (2004)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

In the paper, the problem of estimation of variance components σ₁² and σ₂² by using the ML-method and REML-method in a normal mixed linear model 𝒩 {Y,E(Y) = Xβ, Cov(Y) = σ₁²V + σ₂²Iₙ} is considered. This paper deal with properties of estimators of variance components, particularly when an explicit form of these estimators is unknown. The conditions when the ML and REML estimators can be expressed in explicit forms are given, too. The simulation study for one-way classification unbalanced...

Parameter estimation in non-linear mixed effects models with SAEM algorithm: extension from ODE to PDE

E. Grenier, V. Louvet, P. Vigneaux (2014)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

Similarity:

Parameter estimation in non linear mixed effects models requires a large number of evaluations of the model to study. For ordinary differential equations, the overall computation time remains reasonable. However when the model itself is complex (for instance when it is a set of partial differential equations) it may be time consuming to evaluate it for a single set of parameters. The procedures of population parametrization (for instance using SAEM algorithms) are then very long and...

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...
