Maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) underpins a wide array of regression models by selecting parameter values that maximise the probability of observed data under assumed distributions. In classical ...

Mixed model analyses via restricted maximum likelihood, fitting the so-called animal model, have become standard methodology for the estimation of genetic variances. Models involving multiple genetic ...

For some of my current projects, I'm probably going to need to eventually estimate some models using Metropolis-Hastings sampling. I understand the basic concepts, and the software I use (R) has ...
