Maximum Likelihood

To estimate the values of the parameters of the logistic model we use maximum likelihood. A short review of the method using a simple example and a note of the properties of the sampling distribution of maximum likelihood estimates is provided in the following.

Forming the Likelihood, a simple example

Log Likelihood

Finding the maximum of the log likelihood analytically

The asymptotic properties of the sampling distribution of maximum likelihood estimators are often used.
