โœฆ Synopsis


A computer program is described which uses the maximum likelihood method to fit data which obey Poisson fluctuation with the following function

N = ~Avex p (-art).

V

The program provides a simultaneous optimum estimation of the parametersA v, and a v v = 1, 2 ..... p and their variances. For the assessment of the goodness of fit the values of X 2 and o, the residual variance, are also computed.

A complete discussion of the problem is given in Sandor et al., and the same methods of estimation are used in the program.

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
