Semiparametric maximum likelihood variance component estimation using mixture moment structure models.
Nonnormal phenotypic distributions introduce significant problems in the estimation and selection of genetic models. Here, a semiparametric maximum likelihood approach to analyzing nonnormal phenotypes is described. In this approach, distributions are explicitly modeled together with genetic and environmental effects. Distributional parameters are introduced through mixture constraints, where t...
متن کاملThe Maximum Likelihood Degree
Maximum likelihood estimation in statistics leads to the problem of maximizing a product of powers of polynomials. We study the algebraic degree of the critical equations of this optimization problem. This degree is related to the number of bounded regions in the corresponding arrangement of hypersurfaces, and to the Euler characteristic of the complexified complement. Under suitable hypotheses...
متن کاملMaximum Likelihood for Variance Estimation in High-Dimensional Linear Models
The plots in Figure 1 from the main text were generated using various estimators of σ 0 , each of which was computed for 500 independent datasets (y, X). The datasets were generated according to the linear model (1)– (2) (equation references refer to the main text), with n = 500, p = 1000, σ 0 = 1, and η 2 0 = 4. We considered settings where β had various sparsity levels, indicated by a paramet...

متن کاملMultiscale Variance Stabilization via Maximum Likelihood
This article proposes maximum likelihood approaches for multiscale variance stabilization (MVS) tranforms for independently and identically distributed data. For two MVS transforms we present new unified theoretical results on their Jacobians which are a key component of the likelihood. The new results provide (i) a deeper theoretical understanding of the transforms and (ii) the ability to comp...
