2 Why MLE? Before: Dstrbuton + Parameter x Now: x + Dstrbuton Parameter (Much more realstc) But: Says nothng about how good a ft a dstrbuton s INFO-2301: Quanttatve Reasonng 2 Paul and Boyd-Graber Maxmum Lkelhood Estmaton 2 of 9

3 Lkelhood Lkelhood s p;θ ) We want estmate of θ that best explans data we seen I.e., Maxmum Lkelhood Estmate (MLE) INFO-2301: Quanttatve Reasonng 2 Paul and Boyd-Graber Maxmum Lkelhood Estmaton 3 of 9

4 Lkelhood The lkelhood functon refers to the PMF (dscrete) or PDF (contnuous). For dscrete dstrbutons, the lkelhood of x s P(X = x). For contnuous dstrbutons, the lkelhood of x s the densty f). We wll often refer to lkelhood rather than probablty/mass/densty so that the term apples to ether scenaro. INFO-2301: Quanttatve Reasonng 2 Paul and Boyd-Graber Maxmum Lkelhood Estmaton 4 of 9
