In certain multivariate problems the full probability density has an awkward normalizing constant, but the conditional and/or marginal distributions may be much more tractable. In this paper we ...

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 ...

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 ...
