Maximizing Data Likelihood

Maximum likelihood estimation

Maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) is a statistical method used to estimate the parameters of a probability distribution based on observed data. It involves maximizing a likelihood function to find the most probable values for the parameters. MLE is widely used in statistical inference and can be seen as equivalent to maximum a posteriori estimation with uniform or infinite standard deviation prior distributions.
