  • Likelihood Ratio Test
  • Maximum Likelihood Estimate
  • Maximum Likelihood Estimates
  • Test, Likelihood Ratio

Note

  • usually NIM

Scope note

  • Functions constructed from a statistical model and a set of observed data which give the probability of that data for various values of the unknown model parameters. Those parameter values that maximize the probability are the maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters.
