For some of my current projects, I'm probably going to need to eventually estimate some models using Metropolis-Hastings sampling. I understand the basic concepts, and the software I use (R) has ...

The second call of module LIK produces the average log likelihood function with the given initial conditions: Z0=0 and VZ0= 10-3 I. You can notice a sizable difference between the uncertain initial ...

The observed likelihood function of the three-parameter Weibull transformation (Lawless 1982, p.191) is and the log likelihood is The log likelihood function can only be evaluated for , c > 0, and .

where log L(θ 1 =t ∣ θ̂ 2) is the value of the log likelihood obtained by fixing θ 1 at t and maximizing the likelihood function with respect to the elements of θ 2.Except for cases where t ...

A likelihood function for the frequency of the A1 allele when 2 A1 alleles are observed in a sample of 10 alleles. The vertical dashed line is drawn through the maximum value of the likelihood ...
