The focus of this article is on the nature of the likelihood associated with N-mixture models for repeated count data. It is shown that the infinite sum embedded in the likelihood associated with the ...

Relatedness between individuals is central to ecological genetics. Multiple methods are available to quantify relatedness from molecular data, including method-of-moment and maximum-likelihood ...

It is known that, as statistical methods, the maximum entropy estimation is equivalent to the maximum likelihood estimation with an exponential distribution. But, it is seen that the relation between ...

Identify characteristics of “good” estimators and be able to compare competing estimators. Construct sound estimators using the techniques of maximum likelihood and method of moments estimation.
