This note discusses the direct likelihood estimation of ratio parameters. The method is based on the use of nonlinear regression models from the exponential family. The variances of the maximum ...

Recent phylogenetic analyses have turned away from maximum parsimony towards the probabilistic techniques of maximum likelihood and bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo (BMCMC).

In the stratified analysis, maximum likelihood estimation of the common risk ratio and the standardization methods based on stratum-specific maximum likelihood estimators are given. Biometrics is a ...
