Gentleman & Geyer (1994) discuss the analysis of interval censored data and present results based on standard convex optimisation theory. Here, this problem is viewed from the perspective of a mixing ...

The problem of obtaining maximum likelihood estimates for the multinomial distribution is considered. Maximum likelihood estimation is applied to the particular problem of estimating overlap sizes ...

Abstract: Among all memoryless source distributions, the pattern maximum likelihood (PML) distribution is the distribution which maximizes the probability that a memoryless source produces a string ...

This is where Maximum Likelihood Estimation steps into the equation. The problem you have now is that you need to find values of thetas 1 to 10. MLE helps find theta_i’s such that that probability ...
