11. Parameter Estimation - Stanford University
web.stanford.eduBefore we dive into parameter estimation, first let’s revisit the concept of parameters. Given a model, the parameters are the numbers that yield the actual distribution. In the case of a Bernoulli random variable, the single parameter was the value p. In the case of a Uniform random variable, the parameters are the a
1 The Pareto Distribution - University of Montana
www.math.umt.edu2 Parameter Estimation We are interested in estimating the parameters of the Pareto distribution from which a random sample comes. We will outline a few parameter esti-mation schemes. 2.1 Method of Moments We actually modify the usual method of moments scheme according to a method laid out in Johnson and Kotz[5]. If we set the sample mean equal

www.stat.columbia.eduMaximum Likelihood Estimation 1.The likelihood function can be maximized w.r.t. the parameter(s) , doing this one can arrive at estimators for parameters as well. L(fX ign =1;) = Yn i=1 F(X i;) 2.To do this, nd solutions to (analytically or by following gradient) dL(fX ign i=1;) d = 0

Maximum Likelihood Estimation - University of Arizona
www.math.arizona.eduFor example, if is a parameter for the variance and ˆ is the maximum likelihood estimate for the variance, then p ˆ is the maximum likelihood estimate for the standard deviation. This flexibility in estimation criterion seen here is not available in the case of unbiased estimators.

courses.washington.eduparameter p. We can use the the inverse of the information evaluated at the MLE to estimate the variance of pˆ as varc(ˆp) = I(ˆp)−1 = pˆ(1−pˆ) n. For large n, pˆ is approximately normally distributed with mean p and variance p(1 − p)/n. Therefore, we can construct a 100×(1−α)% confidence interval for p as pˆ±Z 1−α/2[ˆp(1 ...
