Introduction to Likelihood Statistics
Introduction to Likelihood Statistics 1. The Likelihood function. 2. Use of the Likelihood function to model data. 3. Comparison to standard frequentist and Bayesean Statistics . Edward L. Robinson* Department of Astronomy and McDonald Observatory University of Texas at Austin *Look for: Data Analysis for scientists and engineers Princeton University Press, Sept 2016. The Likelihood Function Let a probability distribution function for have m+1parameters ajf( ,a0,a1, ,am)=f( ,~a),The joint probability distribution for n samples of isf( 1, 2, , n,a0,a1, ,am)=f(~ ,~a). Now make measurements. For each variable ithere is a measuredvalue xi. To obtain the Likelihood function L(~x,~a), replace each variable iwiththe numerical value of the corresponding data point xi:L(~x,~a) f(~x,~a)=f(x1,x2, ,xn,~a).In the Likelihood function the~x are known and fixed, while the~aarethe Simple Example Suppose the probabilitydistribution for the data isf( ,a)=a2 e a.
