Estimating Affine Multifactor Term Structure Models Using Closed-Form Likelihood Expansions
This paper develops and implements a technique for maximum likelihood estimation in closed-form of multivariate affine yield models of the term structure of interest rates. Affine yield models owe their popularity among both practitioners and academics to the fact that they allow for straightforward pricing of bonds and other interest...

Bridging Minimum Bias and Maximum Likelihood Methods Through Weighted Equation
In classification ratemaking, the multiplicative and additive models derived by actuaries are based on two common methods; minimum bias and maximum likelihood. These models are already considered as established and standard, particularly in automobile and general liability insurance. This paper aims to identify the relationship between both methods by rewriting...

Likelihood ratio-based confidence bands for survival functions.
Simultaneous confidence bands are constructed using the nonparametric likelihood ratio approach introduced by Thomas and Grunkemeier (1975). The boundaries of the bands are contained within (0,1). A procedure almost equivalent to a bias correction is developed, while the increase in coverage precision is explained through an example and a simulation...

Modeling Epidemiologic Typing Data and Likelihood Inference for Disease Spread.
A model for epidemiologic typing data is introduced, and likelihood ratio methods are developed for evaluating these data as evidence about disease spread. The observed data consist of microorganism subtypes from an index case of infectious disease, cases clustered with the index case, and a reference...

Simulated Likelihood Estimation of Diffusions with an Application to Exchange Rate Dynamics in Incomplete Markets
The article presents an econometric method for estimating the parameters of a diffusion model from discretely sampled data. The estimator is transparent, adaptive, and inherits the asymptotic properties of the generally unattainable maximum likelihood estimator. The author uses this method to estimate a new continuous-time model of the joint dynamics...

A Likelihood Approach to Estimating Market Equilibrium Models
This paper develops a new likelihood-based method for the simultaneous estimation of structural demand-and-supply models for markets with differentiated products. This paper specifies an individual-level discrete choice model of demand and derives the supply side assuming manufacturers compete in prices. The proposed estimation method considers price endogeneity through simultaneous estimation...
