Relatedness between individuals is central to ecological genetics. Multiple methods are available to quantify relatedness from molecular data, including method-of-moment and maximum-likelihood ...

Linear ARCH (LARCH) processes were introduced by Robinson [J. Econometrics 47 (1991) 67-84] to model long-range dependence in volatility and leverage. Basic theoretical properties of LARCH processes ...
Identify characteristics of “good” estimators and be able to compare competing estimators. Construct sound estimators using the techniques of maximum likelihood and method of moments estimation.
Figure 1: Likelihood-based methods are less accurate than maximum parsimony (MP) under heterogeneous conditions. Figure 2: Parsimony outperforms likelihood over a wide range of heterotachous ...
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 ...
