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 ...

In testing a null hypothesis on the basis of independent and identically distributed observations let $\hat{T}_{n}$ be the normalized likelihood ratio statistic and let $\hat{L}_{n}$ be the level ...

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 ...
