For some of my current projects, I'm probably going to need to eventually estimate some models using Metropolis-Hastings sampling. I understand the basic concepts, and the software I use (R) has ...

The LIK module computes the average log likelihood function. First, the average log likelihood function is computed using the default initial values: Z0=0 and VZ0= 10 6 I. The second call of module ...

These are not computed for GEE models, since there is no likelihood for this type of model. Suppose that the parameter vector is and that you want a confidence interval for .The profile likelihood ...

We use an expectation-maximization algorithm 11 to optimize the log-likelihood function, and show that it is equivalent to a three-dimensional projection-matching algorithm, where all experimental ...
