Maximizing Conditional Likelihood

Maximum likelihood estimation

Maximum likelihood estimation is a method of estimating the parameters of an assumed probability distribution given some observed data. It is achieved by maximizing a likelihood function so that the observed data is most probable under the assumed statistical model. The method has become a dominant means of statistical inference due to its intuitive and flexible logic.
