Example sentences for: log-likelihood

How can you use “log-likelihood” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • A loglikelihood test is highly significant with log-likelihood ratio equals 125 (df = 4).

  • This could be done through the use of the log-likelihood ratio test (LRT) to test for the null hypothesis H 0 : g = g 0 against the alternative H 1 : g = g 0 +1 for any given positive integer g 0 . The LRT statistic is 2 log L ( 0 +1) - 2 log L ( 0 ), which, however, does not have the usual asymptotically chi-squared distribution as a result of violation of required regularity conditions (for example, the maximum likelihood estimate may lie in the boundary of its parameter space).

  • They computed a test statistic t(A,B,x) for each sequence x as the difference of log-likelihood ratio dissimilarity measures, D ( A , x ) = -2logλ( A , x ), for two data sets, a control set A and an outgroup B , such that t(A,B,x) = D(A,x) - D(B,x) . A negative value for t indicates that the sequence more closely resembles words from A ; conversely, a positive value indicates a likely contaminant related to B . (Dissimilarity is conceptually related to distance.

  • Wald's statistics and log-likelihood ratios of the models were used to identify variable significance and model fit.

  • We sorted the resulting 986 motifs by their log-likelihood score (see [ 28]), which ranged from negative infinity (the logarithm of zero) to 1,353.
