Improved Maximum Likelihood Estimation of the Shape Parameter in the Nakagami Distribution
We develop and evaluate analytic and bootstrap bias-corrected maximum likelihood estimators for the shape parameter in the Nakagami distribution. This distribution is widely used in a variety of disciplines, and the corresponding estimator of its scale parameter is trivially unbiased. We find that both “corrective” and “preventive” analytic approaches to eliminating the bias, to O(n), are equal...
متن کاملMaximum Likelihood Parameter Estimation
The problem of estimating the parameters for continuous-time partially observed systems is discussed. New exact lters for obtaining Maximum Likelihood (ML) parameter estimates via the Expectation Maximization algorithm are derived. The methodology exploits relations between incomplete and complete data likelihood and gradient of likelihood functions, which are derived using Girsanov's measure t...
متن کاملComparison between Bayesian and Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Scale Parameter in Weibull Distribution with Known Shape under Linex Loss Function
Weibull distribution is widely employed in modeling and analyzing lifetime data. The present paper considers the estimation of the scale parameter of two parameter Weibull distribution with known shape. Maximum likelihood estimation is discussed. Bayes estimator is obtained using Jeffreys’ prior under linex loss function. Relative efficiency of the estimators are calculated in small and large s...
متن کاملEfficient Estimation of the Weibull Shape Parameter Based on a Modified Profile Likelihood
The maximum likelihood estimator of the Weibull shape parameter can be very biased. An estimator based on the modified profile likelihood is proposed and its properties are studied. It is shown that the new estimator is almost unbiased with relative bias being less than 1% in most of situations, and it is much more efficient than the regular MLE. The smaller the sample or the heavier of the cen...
متن کاملMaximum-Likelihood Circle-Parameter Estimation via Convolution
In this paper, we present an interpretation of the Maximum Likelihood Estimator (MLE) and the Delogne-Kåsa Estimator (DKE) for circle-parameter estimation via convolution. Under a certain model for theoretical images, this convolution is an exact description of the MLE. We use our convolution based MLE approach to find good starting estimates for the parameters of a circle, that is, the centre ...
