Interval Censored Data: A Note on the Nonparametric Maximum Likelihood Estimator of the Distribution Function

Gentleman & Geyer (1994) discuss the analysis of interval censored data and present results based on standard convex optimisation theory. Here, this problem is viewed from the perspective of a mixing ...

Nonparametric Maximum Likelihood Estimation of the Structural Mean of a Sample of Curves

A random sample of curves can be usually thought of as noisy realisations of a compound stochastic process X(t) = Z{W(t)}, where Z(t) produces random amplitude variation and W(t) produces random ...

Example 14.4: MA(1) Estimation

The model stored in Example 14.3 is read in using the MODEL= option and the moving average terms are added using the %MA macro. The MA(1) model using maximum ...

Example 5.6: Maximum Likelihood Weibull Estimation

The following data are taken from Lawless (1982, p.193) and represent the number of days it took rats painted with a carcinogen to develop carcinoma. The last 2 observations are censored data from a ...

Example of a simple likelihood function.

A likelihood function for the frequency of the A1 allele when 2 A1 alleles are observed in a sample of 10 alleles. The vertical dashed line is drawn through the maximum value of the likelihood ...
