Daniel J. Eck, Olga Morozova, Forrest W. Crawford
Randomized trials of infectious disease interventions, such as vaccines, often focus on groups of connected or potentially interacting individuals. When the pathogen of interest is…
Estimating the size of a hidden finite set: large-sample behavior of estimators
Si Cheng, Daniel J. Eck, Forrest W. Crawford
A finite set is "hidden" if its elements are not directly enumerable or if its size cannot be ascertained via a deterministic query. In public health, epidemiology, demography, eco…
Computationally efficient likelihood inference in exponential families when the maximum likelihood estimator does not exist
Daniel J. Eck, Charles J. Geyer
In a regular full exponential family, the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) need not exist in the traditional sense. However, the MLE may exist in the completion of the exponentia…
