Maximum Likelihood Estimates of (10.3.6), we have 1010, and from

ABSTRACT

It is noted that differences between the MLE and the MMLE calculated from this sample are quite small. In most applications, the MMLE might be preferred because of its smaller bias. However, readers are again reminded that the only purpose in selecting this particular example has been to illustrate computing procedures. Caution should be exercised in formulating any firm conclusions concerning the relative merits of estimators on the basis of these calculations.
