分组与未分组数据回归模型中最大似然估计的存在性AI 解读

SUMMARY In general, concavity of the log likelihood alone does not imply that the MLE exists always. For a class of linear regression models for grouped and ungrouped data, a necessary and sufficient condition is obtained for the existence of the maximum likelihood estimator. This condition has an intuitively simple interpretation. Further, it turns out that there are similar necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of maximum likelihood estimates for a number…

使用分组数据估计回归模型的最大似然方法札记AI 解读

Summary The estimation of parameters for a class of regression models using grouped or censored data is considered. It is shown that with a simple reparameterization some commonly used distributions, such as the normal and extreme value, result in a log-likelihood which is concave with respect to the transformed parameters. Apart from its theoretical implications for the existence and uniqueness of maximum likelihood estimates, this result suggests minor changes to some…
