Maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters of a statistical model involves maximizing the likelihood or, equivalently, the log likelihood with respect to the parameters. The parameter values at ...

In this module we will learn what a likelihood function is and the concept of maximum likelihood estimation. We will construct maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs) for one and two parameter examples ...

The vertical dashed line is drawn through the maximum value of the likelihood function, at p=0.2, which is the maximum likelihood estimate of p for this sample.
