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 ...

Mixed model analyses via restricted maximum likelihood, fitting the so-called animal model, have become standard methodology for the estimation of genetic variances. Models involving multiple genetic ...

The existence of maximum likelihood estimates for a class of heterocedastic regression models in considered. For a given dispersion function we show that, under a weak condition, the likelihood in ...

For some of my current projects, I'm probably going to need to eventually estimate some models using Metropolis-Hastings sampling. I understand the basic concepts, and the software I use (R) has ...

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society. Series C (Applied Statistics) When the data in a polynomial regression problem come in grouped form, finding the maximum likelihood estimates of the ...
