Three-Parameter Kappa Distribution Maximum likelihood Estimates and Likelihood Ratio Tests
Methods are presented for obtaining maximum likelihood estimates and tests of hypotheses involving the three-parameter kappa distribution. The obtained methods are then applied by fitting this distribution to realized sets of precipitation and streamflow data and testing for seeding effect differences between realized seeded and nonseeded sets of precipitation data. The kappa distribution appea...
متن کاملMaximum Likelihood Estimation and Likelihood-ratio Tests
The method of maximum likelihood (ML), introduced by Fisher (1921), is widely used in human and quantitative genetics and we draw upon this approach throughout the book, especially in Chapters 13–16 (mixture distributions) and 26–27 (variance component estimation). Weir (1996) gives a useful introduction with genetic applications, while Kendall and Stuart (1979) and Edwards (1992) provide more ...
متن کاملLikelihood Ratio Tests with Three-Way Tables
Likelihood ratio (LR) tests for association and for interaction are examined for three-way contingency tables, in particular, the widely used 2 2 K tables. Mutual information identities are used to characterize the information decomposition and the logical relations between the omnibus LR test for conditional independence across K strata and its two independent components, the LR tests for homo...
متن کاملMaximum Likelihood Parameter Estimation
The problem of estimating the parameters for continuous-time partially observed systems is discussed. New exact lters for obtaining Maximum Likelihood (ML) parameter estimates via the Expectation Maximization algorithm are derived. The methodology exploits relations between incomplete and complete data likelihood and gradient of likelihood functions, which are derived using Girsanov's measure t...
متن کاملLikelihood Ratio Tests
Previously, we have employed a program (Jtest) to test an hypothesis involving many parameters (multiple constraints). This test, which involves comparing parameter estimates with hypothesized values, is known as a Wald test. We also used the Jtest program to compare two di¤erent estimators in a Hausman test. There is an alternative method for conducting joint tests, which can be implemented ea...
