Summary
The M.LE. of a function g of a parameter 0 is g of the MLE. of 0 For example, if 0 is the rate at which customers are served in queue, then1/0 is the average service time a queue, The MLE. of 1/0 is one over the MILE. of 0 Sometimes we cannot find a closed form expression for the M.LE. of a parameter and we must resort to numerical methods to find or approximate the MLE. In most problem, the sequen of MLE's as sample size increases, converges in probability to the parameter.
