Individuals in natural populations vary in their genealogy and thus have different genome-wide diversity. Those having more or/and more recent common ancestors between their maternal and paternal ...

We study the maximum smoothed likelihood estimator (MSLE) for interval censoring, case 2, in the so-called separated case. Characterizations in terms of convex duality conditions are given and strong ...

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.

This paper studies large deviation properties of the generalised method of moments and generalized empirical likelihood estimators for moment restriction models. We consider two cases for the data ...
