16.2.7 Maximum likelihood estimation The maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) of the DOA is defined as the value that maximizes the likelihood function (see Equation (16.11)). It is asymptotically unbiased and it attains the Cramér–Rao bound (CRB) of minimum variance (Kay, 1993). In the follo...
In this lecture, we derive the maximum likelihood estimator of the parameter of an exponential distribution. The theory needed to understand the proofs is explained in the introduction to maximum likelihood estimation (MLE). AssumptionsWe observe the first terms of an IID sequence of random ...
Maximum likelihood is a general method of parameter estimation of great practical and theoretical significance in biostatistics. The method is defined and the optimal properties of maximum likelihood estimates are explained along with the underlying assumptions. An example is given and computational methods...
As we explained in the lecture on theEM algorithm, while the likelihood is guaranteed to increase at each iteration, there is no guarantee that the algorithm converges to a global maximum of the likelihood. For this reason, we often use themultiple-starts approach: ...
The maximum likelihood approach can also be used when the data are not observed exactly but are only known to lie in some interval. Once again, this is probably best explained through an example. ▪ EXAMPLE Similarly to the previous examples, we have 10 processors whose lifetime of X days...
maximum likelihood estimationnonparametric estimationIn earlier work, Kirchner [An estimation procedure for the Hawkes process. Quant Financ. 2017;17(4):571–595], we introduced a nonparametric estimation method for the Hawkes point process. In this paper, we present a simulation study that compares...
(11.2) If we write q = 1 u for the empirical distribution in Δ corresponding to u, then the maximum likelihood estimation problem (11.2) is equivalent to: Minimize KL ( q || p ) subject to p ∈ , where q = 1 u. (11.3) This holds because the KL divergence can be written as ...
We can use the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of a parameterθ(or a series of parameters) as an estimate of the parameters of a distribution. As described inMaximum Likelihood Estimation, for a sample the likelihood function is defined by ...
