Re: Maximum Likelihood Question

To all, Thanks so much for all your ideas and insights thus far. To those who have suggested a Baysean approach, I am interested, but I am weeks away from understanding it well enough to figure out if I can use it. Also, I think I am close to developing a usable technique along my current line.

Maximum Likelihood Question

To all who have helped me on the previous thread thank you very much. I am reposting this beause the question has become more focused. I am studying a stochastic Markov process and using a maximum likelihood technique to fit observed data to theoretical models. As a first step I am using a Monte
