MAXIMUM LIKELIHOOD ESTIMATES Example 1. Let X ~ H(n, p). One observation on X is available, and it is known that 7 is either 2 or 3 and p= 4 or 4. Our object is to find an estimate of the pair (n, p). The following table gives the probability that X =x for each possible pair (n, p): x (2,4) (2,4) (3,4) (3,4) Maximum Probability 0 + 3 + h $ 1 + 3 i 3 t 2 t $ i 4 ? 3 0 0 t 4 t The last column gives the maximum probability in each row, that is, for each value that X assumes. If the value x = 1, say, is observed, it is more probable that it came from the distribution (2, 7) than from Any of the other distributions, and so on. The following estimate is, therefore reasonable in that it maximizes the probability of the observed value: ” { 2, + if x =0, nas (4) if x=1, @ACO=16 4) if x= 2, 3,4) if x= 3. The principle of maximum likelihood essentially assumes that the sample is representative of the population and chooses as the estimate that value of the parameter that maximizes the pdf (pmf) f(x).
