In this paper some properties and analytic expressions regarding the Poisson lognormal distribution such as moments, maximum likelihood function and related derivatives are discussed. The author provides a sharp approximation of the integrals related to the Poisson lognormal probabilities and analyzes the ...
Likelihood[dist, {x1, x2, ...}] gives the likelihood function for observations x1, x2, ... from the distribution dist. Likelihood[proc, {{t1, x1}, {t2, x2}, ...}] gives the likelihood function for the observations xi at time ti from the process proc. Lik
The likelihood function is In other words, when we deal with continuous distributions such as the normal distribution, the likelihood function is equal to the joint density of the sample. We will explain below how things change in the case of discrete distributions. The log-likelihood function is...

Before continuing, you might want to revise the basics of maximum likelihood estimation (MLE). AssumptionsOur sample is made up of the first terms of an IID sequence of normal random variables having mean and variance . The probability density function of a generic term of the sequence is ...
Log likelihood 用上面的式子来得到微分很麻烦,所以一般用log函数处理。因为log函数有单调递增的特性(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotonic_function)。 它可以帮助我们在log之后的函数能达到和之前相同的效果。所以我们可以使用更简单的log likelihood 而不是 original likelihood ...
Given a sample of particles from cascade impactors the geometric mean and variance are commonly estimated by plotting cumulative particle size as a function of particle size on log probability paper, assuming a log normal distribution and drawing a line. Here, theoretical estimates are described base...

The log-likelihood function Thelog-likelihood functionis Proof Note that the likelihood function is well-defined only if is strictly positive. This reflects the assumption made above that the true parameter is positive definite, which implies that the search for a maximum likelihood estimator of ...
