We present a new maximum likelihood method for the calculation of galaxy luminosity functions from multi-band photometric surveys without spectroscopic data. The method evaluates the likelihood of a ...

The FIND function allows you to find a text string within another. It returns the position at which a character or string begins within another text string. The output of the above function will be 5, ...

You’re probably familiar with nouns as the words that name people, places, and things. But did you know that nouns don’t just label things; they also serve particular functions in a sentence?

Abstract: The convergence of expectation-maximization (EM)-based algorithms typically requires continuity of the likelihood function with respect to all the unknown parameters (optimization variables) ...

This isn't an issue per se but I am curious why it was decided to have these functions rely on .nc files pre-manipulated into .grd files for the likelihood calculation, rather than directly on the .nc ...

A transformational measurement model for structural equation modeling (SEM) of asymmetric non-normal data is proposed. This measurement model aligns with the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm of ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the identification of FIR (finite impulse response) systems with quantized input and binary-valued observations. First, we obtain the ML (maximum likelihood) function ...
