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 ...

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 ...

Bayesian estimation and maximum likelihood methods represent two central paradigms in modern statistical inference. Bayesian estimation incorporates prior beliefs through Bayes’ theorem, updating ...
