In this paper, we introduce the class of the nonlinear overdispersed models and derive general formulae for the biases of the maximum likelihood estimators of the parameters in these models, thus ...

There is hardly any literature on modelling nonlinear dynamic relations involving nonnormal time series data. This is a serious lacuna because nonnormal data are far more abundant than normal ones, ...

A likelihood function for the frequency of the A1 allele when 2 A1 alleles are observed in a sample of 10 alleles. The vertical dashed line is drawn through the maximum value of the likelihood ...
