Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Incomplete Genomic Spectrum from HTS Data
High-throughput sequencing makes possible to process samples containing multiple genomic sequences and then estimate their frequencies or even assemble them. The maximum likelihood estimation of frequencies of the sequences based on observed reads can be efficiently performed using expectationmaximization (EM) method assuming that we know sequences present in the sample. Frequently, such knowle...
متن کاملMaximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) of students’ understanding of vector subtraction
In this paper, we report on the impact that slight changes in question format have on student response to onedimensional vector subtraction tasks. We use Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) analysis to analyze students’ responses on six very similar questions which vary in context (physics or mathematics), vector alignment (both pointing to the right or opposed), and operation (left-right subtr...
متن کاملLocal Maximum Likelihood Techniques with Categorical Data
In this paper we provide asymptotic theory of local maximum likelihood techniques for estimating a regression model where some regressors are discrete. Our methodology and theory are particularly useful for models that give us a likelihood of the unknown functions we can use to identify and estimate the underlying model. This is the case when the conditional density of the variable of interest,...
متن کاملPseudo-likelihood Estimation for Incomplete Data
In statistical practice, incomplete measurement sequences are the rule rather than the exception. Fortunately, in a large variety of settings, the stochastic mechanism governing the incompleteness can be ignored without hampering inferences about the measurement process. While ignorability only requires the relatively general missing at random assumption for likelihood and Bayesian inferences, ...
متن کاملMaximum Entropy Density Estimation with Incomplete Data
We propose a natural generalization of Regularized Maximum Entropy Density Estimation (maxent) to handle input data with unknown values. While standard approaches to handling missing data usually involve estimating the actual unknown values, then using the estimated, complete data as input, our method avoids the two-step process and handles unknown values directly in the maximum entropy formula...
