Bayesian and Iterative Maximum Likelihood Estimation of the Coefficients in Logistic Regression Analysis with Linked Data

This paper considers logistic regression analysis with linked data. It is shown that, in logistic regression analysis with linked data, a finite mixture of Bernoulli distributions can be used for modeling the response variables. We proposed an iterative maximum likelihood estimator for the regression coefficients that takes the matching probabilities into account. Next, the Bayesian counterpart...

Maximum likelihood estimation in the proportional hazards cure model

The proportional hazards curemodel generalizes Cox’s proportional hazardsmodel which allows that a proportion of study subjects may never experience the event of interest. Here nonparametricmaximum likelihood approach is proposed to estimating the cumulative hazard and the regression parameters. The asymptotic properties of the resulting estimators are established using the modern empirical pro...

Maximum Weighted Likelihood Estimator in Logistic Regression

The least weighted squares estimator is a well known technique in robust regression. Its likelihood analogy in logistic regression is the maximum weighted likelihood estimator, proposed in Vandev and Neykov (1998) and Mueller and Neykov (2003). This article mentions already proved properties, shows its inconsistency and compare it to the other estimators by an extensive simulation. Introduction...

Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Parameters in Generalized Functional Linear Model

Sometimes, in practice, data are a function of another variable, which is called functional data. If the scalar response variable is categorical or discrete, and the covariates are functional, then a generalized functional linear model is used to analyze this type of data. In this paper, a truncated generalized functional linear model is studied and a maximum likelihood approach is used to esti...
