Strong Lagrangian theory is used to illuminate the properties of the profile log likelihood. General conditions are given which lead to a simplification of the computations required to plot this ...

The number needed to treat, that is, the average number of patients a clinician needs to treat with a particular therapy to prevent one bad outcome,1 is a translation into clinical terms of the ...

This example calculates confidence intervals based on the profile likelihood for the parameters estimated in the previous example. The following introduction on profile-likelihood methods is based on ...
