Maximum likelihood. Which model explains the clues?
Twelve recorded commute times start a modelling detective story. Compare Gaussian settings, multiply density heights, then take logs to find a clearer score.
Nine conversations connect maximum likelihood to the sample mean, least squares and cross-entropy. Explore a prior’s influence on a small-sample estimate and question the assumptions behind a fit.
