Bayesian estimation and maximum likelihood methods represent two central paradigms in modern statistical inference. Bayesian estimation incorporates prior beliefs through Bayes’ theorem, updating ...
It is proved in the paper that every possible set of conditions which implies consistency of the maximum likelihood method also implies consistency of Bayes estimates for a large class of prior ...
CATALOG DESCRIPTION: Fundamental and advanced topics in statistical pattern recognition including Bayesian decision theory, Maximum-likelihood and Bayesian estimation, Nonparametric density estimation ...
We revisit statistical tests for branches of evolutionary trees reconstructed upon molecular data. A new, fast, approximate likelihood-ratio test (aLRT) for branches is presented here as a competitive ...
