Why we consider log likelihood instead of Likelihood in Gaussian ...
First of all as stated, the log is monotonically increasing so maximizing likelihood is equivalent to maximizing log likelihood. Furthermore, one can make use of $\ln(ab) = \ln(a) + \ln(b)$. Many …
What is -2loglikelihood? - Mathematics Stack Exchange
The 2 in the above formula for hypothesis tests is abased on the asymptotic distribution of the likelihood ratio statistic (as noted by Lost1 above). 2ln($\frac{L(H_a)}{L(H_0)})\dot\sim …

Why take the logarithm of likelihood function when finding MLE
2015年9月30日 · To compute the maximum (the M in MLE), it is easy to take derivative of a log function, compared to the original likelihood function: $\frac{d}{dx}log(x) = \frac{1}{x}$ There is …
statistics - Log-likelihood of the normal distribution.
2014年9月12日 · $\begingroup$ Notice that $0.5 \log(\sigma^2)=\log(\sigma)$. So $\sigma$ terms coincide. $\log \pi$ is often omitted because this is a constant not affecting anything. But …
