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 ...

Scientists have developed a way to compare the data given by PV manufacturers based on standard test conditions (STC) to the real conditions in the field. The proposed technique is based on the single ...

In this paper a family of functional iterations is introduced. One member of this family is the Newton-Raphson method and another member, obtained from a generalization of Steffensen's method to a ...

There are several optimization techniques available in PROC NLMIXED. You can choose a particular optimizer with the TECH=name option in the PROC NLMIXED statement. No algorithm for optimizing general ...

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 ...
