Summary:
1. The
model for the
conditional mean
of the regression
equation must be
bounded between
zero and one. 2.
The binomial, not
the normal,
distribution
describes the
distribution of the

the method yields values
for the unknown
parameters that maximize
the probability of
obtaining the observed set
of data. In order to apply
this method we must first
construct a function,
called the likelihood
function
The maximum
likelihood estimators of
the parameters are the
values that maximize
this function
