In a variety of problems involving models from genetics, latent-class analysis, and missing data, I apply a log-linear model to an indirectly observed frequency table. Current algorithms for ...
In addition to numerous matrix-multiplication routines, PROC MIXED frequently uses the sweep operator (Goodnight 1979) and the Cholesky root (Golub and Van Loan 1989). The routines perform a modified ...
The expression commonly given in the literature for the inherent error involved in the Newton-Raphson method is incorrect. New criteria are here derived which may be ...
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 ...
