Maximum Likelihood Estimation with the Maple Global Optimization Toolbox File Size 0.48 mb   The likelihood function describes how closely a probability distribution describes a data set. This application will demonstrate how to: Generate a data set according to a Weibull distribution with a specified scale and shape parameter. Backsolve the scale and shape parameters for this data set by maximising the likelihood function for a Weibull distribution using the Global Optimization Toolbox. Compare the resulting probability distribution against a histogram of the data set. Download Estimate File size: 0.48 MB 1 minute and 11 seconds. [56Kbps] and 7 seconds.
