Maximum penalized likelihood estimation in semiparametric capture-recapture models
We consider a semiparametric modeling approach for capture-recapture-recovery data where the temporal and/or individual variation of model parameters – usually the demographic parameters – is explained via covariates. Typically, in such analyses a fixed (or mixed) effects parametric model is specified for the relationship between the model parameters and the covariates of interest. In this pape...
متن کاملMaximum likelihood, profile likelihood, and penalized likelihood: a primer.
The method of maximum likelihood is widely used in epidemiology, yet many epidemiologists receive little or no education in the conceptual underpinnings of the approach. Here we provide a primer on maximum likelihood and some important extensions which have proven useful in epidemiologic research, and which reveal connections between maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods. For a given data set...
متن کاملPenalized maximum likelihood for multivariate Gaussian mixture
In this paper, we first consider the parameter estimation of a multivariate random process distribution using multivariate Gaussian mixture law. The labels of the mixture are allowed to have a general probability law which gives the possibility to modelize a temporal structure of the process under study. We generalize the case of univariate Gaussian mixture in [1] to show that the likelihood is...
متن کاملPenalized Partial Likelihood for Sequential Order Selection
We have recently shown that partial likelihood estimation of finite normal mixtures (FNM) yields very efficient estimators and hence provides a very attractive solution for real-time signal processing. Order selection, however, is a very important factor affecting the overall performance. In this paper, we address the problem of order selection for the FNM model in applications requiring sequen...
متن کاملLectures 12 and 13 - Complexity Penalized Maximum Likelihood Estimation
As you learned in previous courses, if we have a statistical model we can often estimate unknown “parameters” by the maximum likelihood principle. Suppose we have independent, but not necessarily identically distributed, data. Namely, we model the data {Yi}i=1 as independent random variables with densities (with respect to a common dominating measure) given by pi(·; θ), where θ is an unknown “p...
