Maximum Likelihood Parameter Estimation
نویسنده
چکیده
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 transformations. The ML parameter estimates are described by a set of Lyapunov sensitivity equations.

Evaluation of estimation methods for parameters of the probability functions in tree diameter distribution modeling
One of the most commonly used statistical models for characterizing the variations of tree diameter at breast height is Weibull distribution. The usual approach for estimating parameters of a statistical model is the maximum likelihood estimation (likelihood method). Usually, this works based on iterative algorithms such as Newton-Raphson. However, the efficiency of the likelihood method is not...

In this article, we consider the problem of estimating the stress-strength reliability $Pr (X > Y)$ based on upper record values when $X$ and $Y$ are two independent but not identically distributed random variables from the power hazard rate distribution with common scale parameter $k$. When the parameter $k$ is known, the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE), the approximate Bayes estimator and ...

The objective of this study is to improve the estimation of the dispersion parameter of the negative binomial distribution for modeling motor vehicle collisions. The negative binomial distribution is widely used to model count data such as traffic crash data, which often exhibit low sample mean values and small sample sizes. Under such situations, the most commonly used methods for estimating t...

متن کاملConsistency of Maximum Likelihood Estimation for Some Dynamical Systems
We consider the asymptotic consistency of maximum likelihood parameter estimation for dynamical systems observed with noise. Under suitable conditions on the dynamical systems and the observations, we show that maximum likelihood parameter estimation is consistent. Our proof involves ideas from both information theory and dynamical systems. Furthermore, we show how some well-studied properties ...
متن کاملParameter estimation in nonlinear stochastic dierential equations
We discuss the problem of parameter estimation in nonlinear stochastic dierential equations (SDEs) based on sampled time series. A central message from the theory of integrating SDEs is that there exist in general two time scales, i.e. that of integrating these equations and that of sampling. We argue that therefore, maximum likelihood estimation is computationally extremely expensive. We disc...
