On the Maximum Likelihood Estimators for some Generalized Pareto-like Frequency Distribution
Abstract. In this paper we consider some four-parametric, so-called Generalized Pareto-like Frequency Distribution, which have been constructed using stochastic Birth-Death Process in order to model phenomena arising in Bioinformatics (Astola and Danielian, 2007). As examples, two ”real data” sets on the number of proteins and number of residues for analyzing such distribution are given. The co...
متن کاملThe Convergence of Lossy Maximum Likelihood Estimators
Given a sequence of observations (Xn)n≥1 and a family of probability distributions {Qθ}θ∈Θ, the lossy likelihood of a particular distribution Qθ given the data Xn 1 := (X1,X2, . . . ,Xn) is defined as Qθ(B(X 1 ,D)), where B(Xn 1 ,D) is the distortion-ball of radius D around the source sequence X n 1 . Here we investigate the convergence of maximizers of the lossy likelihood.
متن کاملPenalized Likelihood-type Estimators for Generalized Nonparametric Regression
We consider the asymptotic analysis of penalized likelihood type estimators for generalized non-parametric regression problems in which the target parameter is a vector valued function defined in terms of the conditional distribution of a response given a set of covariates. A variety of examples including ones related to generalized linear models and robust smoothing are covered by the theory. ...
متن کاملAsymptotic Distributions of Quasi-Maximum Likelihood Estimators
Asymptotic properties of MLEs and QMLEs of mixed regressive, spatial autoregressive models are investigated. The stochastic rates of convergence of the MLE and QMLE for such models may be less than the √ n-rate under some circumstances even though its limiting distribution is asymptotically normal. When spatially varying regressors are relevant, the MLE and QMLE of the mixed regressive, autoreg...
متن کاملCommon Voting Rules as Maximum Likelihood Estimators
Voting is a very general method of preference aggregation. A voting rule takes as input every voter’s vote (typically, a ranking of the alternatives), and produces as output either just the winning alternative or a ranking of the alternatives. One potential view of voting is the following. There exists a “correct” outcome (winner/ranking), and each voter’s vote corresponds to a noisy perception...
