A likelihood function for the frequency of the A1 allele when 2 A1 alleles are observed in a sample of 10 alleles. The vertical dashed line is drawn through the maximum value of the likelihood ...

In this paper, parametric and empirical likelihood functions or surfaces are compared. In particular, first- and second-order expansions for log likelihood functions are developed in nonparametric and ...

Parabolic and hyperbolic stochastic partial differential equations in one-dimensional space have been proposed as models for the term structure of interest rates. The solution to these equations is ...

Mixed model analyses via restricted maximum likelihood, fitting the so-called animal model, have become standard methodology for the estimation of genetic variances. Models involving multiple genetic ...
