Improved profile likelihood inference
Improved profile likelihood inference is a scholarly work by Sílvia Lopes de Paula Ferrari, published in 2005 in ''Journal of Statistical Planning and Inference''. The main subjects of the publication include restricted maximum likelihood, score, empirical likelihood, nuisance parameter, likelihood function, ratio test, biological function, inference, likelihood principle, Score test, multicollinearity, missing data, econometrics, likelihood-ratio test, statistics, regularization, and mathematics. The authors consider an additive adjustment that aims at reducing the score and information biases of the score function from order O(1) to order O(n-1).
