On Optimization Algorithms for Maximum Likelihood Estimation
Maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) is one of the most popular technique in econometric and other statistical applications due to its strong theoretical appeal, but can lead to numerical issues when the underlying optimization problem is solved. We examine in this paper a range of trust region and line search algorithms and focus on the impact that the approximation of the Hessian matrix has on...

متن کاملMonte Carlo maximum likelihood estimation for discretely observed diffusion processes
This paper introduces a Monte Carlo method for maximum likelihood inference in the context of discretely observed diffusion processes. The method gives unbiased and a.s. continuous estimators of the likelihood function for a family of diffusion models and its performance in numerical examples is computationally efficient. It uses a recently developed technique for the exact simulation of diffus...
متن کاملMaximum-Likelihood Estimation for Hybrid Specular/Diffuse Models of Radar Imaging and Target Recognition
We derive maximum-likelihood estimators for the glint coefficient of specular radar targets and for the scattering coefficient of diffuse radar targets. The estimator for diffuse targets is a thresholded version of the squared magnitude of the received data. The estimator for specular targets is more complicated, involving the solution of a nonlinear equation involving ratios of modified Bessel...
متن کاملOn the Approximate Maximum Likelihood Estimation for Diffusion Processes
The transition density of a diffusion process does not admit an explicit expression in general, which prevents the full maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) based on discretely observed sample paths. Aı̈t-Sahalia (1999, 2002) proposed asymptotic expansions to the transition densities of diffusion processes, which lead to an approximate maximum likelihood estimation (AMLE) for parameters. Built on...
