Bayesian estimation and maximum likelihood methods represent two central paradigms in modern statistical inference. Bayesian estimation incorporates prior beliefs through Bayes’ theorem, updating ...
In this article the problem of obtaining the maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters from a special type of linear combination of discrete probability functions is discussed. It is shown that ...
