For a parametrized density p x| µσ , , with parameters µσ , ,<br />

the Likelihood Function is the likelihood of the data given the parameters:<br />

If The likelihood function (short – likelihood) of the model parameters is given by:<br />

9.2.6 Probabilistic Independence<br />

Two events A and B are statistically independent iff the conditional probability of A given B<br />

( | ) = P( A)<br />
