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 ...

Likelihood methods of dealing with some multiparameter problems are introduced and exemplified. Specifically, methods of eliminating nuisance parameters from the likelihood function so that inferences ...
