✦ Synopsis
This paper deals with the problem of making inferences on the maximum radius and the intensity of the Poisson point process associated to a Boolean Model of circular primary grains with uniformly distributed random radii. The only sample information used is observed radii of circular clumps (DIJPAC, 1980). The behaviour of maximum likelihood estimation has been evaluated by means of Monte Carlo methods.

## Abstract Recently, Fridman and Harris proposed a method which allows one to approximate the likelihood of the basic stochastic volatility model. They also propose to estimate the parameters of such a model maximising the approximate likelihood by an algorithm which makes use of numerical derivat
This book takes a fresh look at the popular and well-established method of maximum likelihood for statistical estimation and inference. It begins with an intuitive introduction to the concepts and background of likelihood, and moves through to the latest developments in maximum likelihood methodolog
The asymptotic covariance matrix of the maximum likelihood estimator for the log-linear model is given for a general class of conditional Poisson distributions which include the unconditional Poisson, multinomial and product-multinomial, aa special cases. The general conditions are given under which
