Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Various Univariate and Multivariate Distributions

v1.7 · Mar 27, 2026 · GPL (>= 2)

Description

Several functions for maximum likelihood estimation of various univariate and multivariate distributions. The list includes more than 100 functions for univariate continuous and discrete distributions, distributions that lie on the real line, the positive line, interval restricted, circular distributions. Further, multivariate continuous and discrete distributions, distributions for compositional and directional data, etc. Some references include Johnson N. L., Kotz S. and Balakrishnan N. (1994).
