Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Parameters in Generalized Functional Linear Model
Sometimes, in practice, data are a function of another variable, which is called functional data. If the scalar response variable is categorical or discrete, and the covariates are functional, then a generalized functional linear model is used to analyze this type of data. In this paper, a truncated generalized functional linear model is studied and a maximum likelihood approach is used to esti...
متن کاملMaximum likelihood estimation of survival curve parameters.
A maximum likelihood procedure is presented for the estimation of the parameters in a survival curve which is used in the quantitative investigation of cytological damage resulting from ionizing radiation. This estimation procedure is developed under the assumption that the observations are distributed as independent Poisson random variables. In addition, a weighted least squares procedure, whi...
متن کاملMaximum Likelihood Estimation of Dirichlet Distribution Parameters
The Dirichlet distribution is one that has often been turned to in Bayesian statistical inference as a convenient prior distribution to place over proportional data. To properly motivate its study, we will begin with a simple coin toss example, where the task will be to find a suitable distribution P which summarizes our beliefs about the probability that the toss will result in heads, based on...
متن کاملMaximum likelihood estimation of ordered multinomial parameters.
The pool adjacent violator algorithm Ayer et al. (1955, The Annals of Mathematical Statistics, 26, 641-647) has long been known to give the maximum likelihood estimator of a series of ordered binomial parameters, based on an independent observation from each distribution (see Barlow et al., 1972, Statistical Inference under Order Restrictions, Wiley, New York). This result has immediate applica...

This paper provides onvergen e analysis for maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters des ribing a parti ular multi-s ale pro ess known as fra tional Brownian motion. We on entrate on s hemes that `pre-whiten' the available noise orrupted data via the Fast Wavelet Transform and show that su h s hemes are strongly onsistent and asymptoti ally eÆ ient. We also analyse the rate of onvergen e...
