how to calculate MLE Suppose that X1 Xn form a random sample

how to calculate MLE?

Suppose that X_1..., X_n form a random sample from a distribution for which the density function is as follows: f(x) = 1/2 e^-|x - theta|, with - infinity

Solution

Using mle command, we can calculate \'Mean likelihood estimation\"

fun = @(x) (1/2)*e^(-x)
res_mle = mle(10,\'pdf\',fun,\'cdf\',fun,\'start\',[-1,1])
disp(res_mle)
