There are three SAS procedures that enable you to do maximum likelihood estimation of parameters in an arbitrary model with a likelihood function that you define: PROC MODEL, PROC NLP, and PROC IML.
In operational risk measurement, the estimation of severity distribution parameters is the main driver of capital estimates, yet this remains a nontrivial challenge for many reasons. Maximum ...
This paper performs a Monte Carlo study on efficient method of moments (EMM), generalized method of moments (GMM), quasi-maximum likelihood estimation (QMLE) and maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) ...
