• Sudhir starts with a very interesting coin example to give us a strong motivation to easily understand what Maximum Likelihood means. The author states a very clear mathematical definition and a methodology of computing MLE by the first and second order derivatives. Then, the important properties of MLE are described. Finally, the author shows several examples of MLE for the parameters of the Gaussian distribution and Binomial distribution. In summary, this slecture gives us a very clear definition and examples of MLE, but the most of contents seem to be shown and solved in our lecture. That is only a weak point of this slecture.
