Hii all How to derive the MLE of distributions having 2 parameters. Like derivation of MLE of binomial distribution for estimating n ( I am comfortable in estimating p ). Plz anyone rply asap.
You just use partial differentiation for each parameter and equate each part to zero. However, you will not be able to do this for n from the binomial as it will require differentiating a factorial! The only distributions that are do-able on a piece of paper for both parameters are the normal and lognormal distributions.
