It is a key concept of the so-called Generalized Likelihood Uncertainty Estimation ( GLUE ) methodology to quantify how uncertain environmental predictions are.

An argument in favor of the likelihood principle is given by Edwards in his book Likelihood.

Likelihood ( eikos, versimilis ) captures the idea that something is likely to happen or to have happened.

Likelihood to satisfice is linked to respondent ability, respondent motivation and task difficulty

* G. 723 is a hybrid speech coder, with high bit rate using Multi-Pulse Maximum Likelihood Quantization ( MP-MLQ ) and low bit rate using Algebraic Code Excited Linear Prediction ( ACELP )

As for the languages of Gambia, they are so many and so different, that the Natives, on either Side of the River, cannot understand each other .… he safest Way is to trade with the different Nations, on either Side of the River, and having some of every Sort on board, there will be no more Likelihood of their succeeding in a Plot, than of finishing the Tower of Babel.

In computer data storage, Partial Response Maximum Likelihood ( PRML ) is a method for converting the weak analog signal from the head of a magnetic disk or tape drive into a digital signal.

This requires a Maximum Likelihood Sequence Estimator ( MLSE ), which is efficiently implemented using the

An alternative approach is the parametric beamformers, also known as Maximum Likelihood ( ML ) beamformers.

In oether words, the Maximum Likelihood beamformer is to find the DOA, the independent variable of vector V, so that the penalty function such as Eq.

In Deterministic Maximum Likelihood Beamformer ( DML ), the noise is modeled as a stationary Gaussian white random processes while the signal waveform as deterministic ( but arbitrary ) and unknown.

Likelihood is the relative counterpart to absolute probability.

Likelihood is generally regarded as a more desirable method than parsimony, in that it is statistically consistent, and has a better statistical foundation, and because it allows complex modeling of evolutionary processes.

Bayesian phylogenetics uses the likelihood function, and is normally implemented using the same models of evolutionary change used in Maximum Likelihood.

Likelihood ratio tests will give exactly the same answer whether we work with R, log R or any other monotonic transformation of R. The other reason is that the Wald test uses two approximations ( that we know the standard error, and that the distribution is chi-squared ), whereas the likelihood ratio test uses one approximation ( that the distribution is chi-squared ).

In the second half of the book it is argued that the tracking theory of evidence is best formulated and defended as a confirmation theory based on the Likelihood Ratio.

The Elaboration Likelihood Model is similar in concept to and share many ideas with other dual processing models, such as the Heuristic-Systematic Model of Information Processing.

In the Elaboration Likelihood Model, cognitive processing is the central route and affective / emotion processing is often associated with the peripheral route.

** Likelihood function

Likelihood functions play a key role in statistical inference, especially methods of estimating a parameter using a statistics ( a function of the data ).

* Likelihood function

** the Likelihood function

When estimating other structural parameters ( e. g., parameters of a utility function, instead of parameters of a known probability distribution ), appropriate probability distributions may not be known, and moment-based estimates may be preferred to Maximum Likelihood Estimation.

Likelihood of regulatory capture is a risk to which an agency is exposed by its very nature.

* Likelihood ratios are derived from sensitivity and specificity to adjust pretest probability.

Pretest odds * Likelihood ratio

In general, a weak argument that is universally viewed as weak will entice unfavorable results if the subject is instructed to and is in an appropriate environment to consider it logically ( or when testing the central route of the Elaboration Likelihood Model ).

Unconcerned with the practical function of his actions, the dancer is engrossed exclusively in their `` motional content ''.

This is the primary function of the imagination operating in the absence of the original experiential stimulus by which the images were first appropriated.

But because it is the function of the mind to turn the one into the other by means of the capacities with which words endow it, we do not unwisely examine the type of distinction, in the sphere of politics, on which decisions hang.

`` Mr. Gross, your report says that ' our function is investigative and advisory and does not in any way derogate from or prejudice Mr. Bang-Jensen's rights as a staff member.

It is, however, a disarming disguise, or perhaps a shield, for not only has Mercer proved himself to be one of the few great lyricists over the years, but also one who can function remarkably under pressure.

Men seem almost universally to want a sense of function, that is, a feeling that their existence makes a difference to someone, living or unborn, close and immediate or generalized.

And there is one other point in the Poetics that invites moral evaluation: Aristotle's notion that the distinctive function of tragedy is to purge one's emotions by arousing pity and fear.

It is possible that international organization will ultimately supplant the multi-state system, but its proper function for the immediate future is to reform and supplement that system in order to render pluralism more compatible with an interdependent world.

A primary function is the operation of a Government Bid Center, which receives bids daily from the Federal Government's principal purchasing agencies.

The education function of the Institute is carried on by the staff in the departments of pathology and its consultants.

The responsibility for taking the initiative in generating ideas is that of every officer in the Department who has a policy function, regardless of rank.

This function is staffed by engineers chosen for their technical competence and who have the title, member of the technical staff.

If Af is the change per unit volume in Gibbs function caused by the shear field at constant P and T, and **yr is the density of the fluid, then the total potential energy of the system above the reference height is Af.

This is interesting for it combines both the thermodynamic concept of a minimum Gibbs function for equilibrium and minimum mechanical potential energy for equilibrium.

The concept of the strain energy as a Gibbs function difference Af and exerting a force normal to the shearing face is compatible with the information obtained from optical birefringence studies of fluids undergoing shear.

A proton magnetic resonance study of polycrystalline Af as a function of magnetic field and temperature is presented.

Within certain wide limits anatomy dictates function and, if one is permitted to speculate, potential pathology should be included in this statement as well.

When each number of successes X is paired with its probability of occurrence Af, the set of pairs Af, is a probability function called a binomial distribution.

The function f{t} defined in this way is multi-valued.

In some neighborhood in the f-plane of any ordinary point of the graph, the function f is a single-valued, continuous function.
