Pointwise nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator of stochastically ordered survivor functions.
In this paper, we consider estimation of survivor functions from groups of observations with right-censored data when the groups are subject to a stochastic ordering constraint. Many methods and algorithms have been proposed to estimate distribution functions under such restrictions, but none have completely satisfactory properties when the observations are censored. We propose a pointwise cons...
متن کاملAsymptotic Distribution of the Maximum Likelihood Estimator for a Stochastic Frontier Function
This article has investigated the asymptotic distribution of the maximum likelihood estimator in a stochastic frontier function when the firms are all technically efficient. For such a situation, the true parameter vector is on the boundary of the parameter space, and the scores are linearly dependent. The maximum likelihood estimator is shown to be a mixture of certain truncated distributions....
متن کاملAsymptotic properties of a double penalized maximum likelihood estimator in logistic regression
Maximum likelihood estimates in logistic regression may encounter serious bias or even non-existence with many covariates or with highly correlated covariates. In this paper, we show that a double penalized maximum likelihood estimator is asymptotically consistent in large samples. r 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
متن کاملOn Calculating the Nonparametric Maximum Likelihood Estimator of a Distribution given Interval Censored Data on Calculating the Nonparametric Maximum Likelihood Estimator of a Distribution given Interval Censored Data
SUMMARY We introduce an algorithm for calculating the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator of a distribution function when data are interval censored. This algorithm has advantages over existing methods such as the pool-adjacent-violators algorithm and the greatest-convex-minorant algorithm. We establish a theoretical result related to the expected run time of the new method.
متن کاملAsymptotic Properties of Maximum (Composite) Likelihood Estimators for Partially Ordered Markov Models (Running Title: Asymptotic properties of MLEs for POMMs)
Partially ordered Markov models (POMMs) are Markov random elds (MRFs) with neighborhood structures derivable from an associated partially ordered set. The most attractive feature of POMMs is that their joint distributions can be written in closed and product form. Therefore, simulation and maximum likelihood estimation for the models is quite straightforward, which is not the case in general fo...
