Grouped Likelihood for the Shifted Power Transformation
平移幂变换模型的分组似然
SUMMARY Estimation of parameters is considered in the shifted power transformation family of models. The ordinary likelihood function is shown to behave poorly, often having no local maximum. It is argued that a grouped likelihood approach avoids these difficulties, and the practical implementation of this approach is considered. Bayesian inference is also considered, though more briefly, and it is argued that there are again difficulties with an ungrouped likelihood…
