Likelihood function: Regions & Products

A likelihood function (often simply called the likelihood) gives the relative merit of various statistical models for describing a data set. Often the models being compared are parameterized by a parameter, with the parameter often written as θ, or they are parameterized by multiple parameters given as the components of a vector. For a probability…
