Consistency of Genera lized Maximum Spacing Estimates
General methods for the estimation of distributions can be derived from approx imations of certain information measures. For example, both the maximum like lihood (ML) method and the maximum spacing (MSP) method can be obtained from approximations of t he Kuliback-Leibler information. The ideas behind the MSP method, whereby an estimation method for continuous univariate distri butions is ob...
متن کاملMaximum likelihood estimates of pairwise rearrangement distances.
Accurate estimation of evolutionary distances between taxa is important for many phylogenetic reconstruction methods. Distances can be estimated using a range of different evolutionary models, from single nucleotide polymorphisms to large-scale genome rearrangements. Corresponding corrections for genome rearrangement distances fall into 3 categories: Empirical computational studies, Bayesian/MC...

متن کاملGeneral Maximum Likelihood Empirical Bayes Estimation of Normal Means
We propose a general maximum likelihood empirical Bayes (GMLEB) method for the estimation of a mean vector based on observations with iid normal errors. We prove that under mild moment conditions on the means, the average mean squared error (MSE) of the GMLEB is within an infinitesimal fraction of the minimum average MSE among all separable estimators which use a single deterministic estimating...
متن کاملError Bounds and Consistency of Maximum Likelihood Time Synchronization
In this paper we consider a simplified version of a maximum likelihood time synchronization estimator introduced in [2]. This simplified variant assumes approximately accurate clock rates. We give error bounds for the estimator under the assumption of a maximum timestamping delay, and we show that these error bounds are optimal. Furthermore, we prove consistency of the clock offset estimator fo...
