The least-squares curve fitting procedure of experimental data is described for heterodyne detection. Two independent methods, the Maximum Likelihood method of Fisher and SIMPLEX, have been tried. The relative merits and limitations are discussed in detail.

Robust Estimates

In the present work, a weighed maximum likelihood method (WMLM) is proposed to obtain robust estimates for processing experimental data containing outliers. The method allows robust asymptotic unbiased and effective estimates to be obtained in the presence of not only external, but also internal asymmetric and symmetric outliers. Algorithms for obtaining robust WMLM estimates are considered at the parametric level of aprioristic uncertainty. It is demonstrated that these estimates converge to maximum likelihood estimates of an inhomogeneous sample for each distribution from the Tukey supermodel.

Frequentist Method

This paper compares the frequentist method that consisted of the least-squares method and the maximum likelihood method for estimating an unknown parameter on the Random Coefficient Autoregressive (RCA) model. The frequentist methods depend on the likelihood function that draws a conclusion from observed data by emphasizing the frequency or proportion of the data namely least squares and maximum likelihood methods. The method of least squares is often used to estimate the parameter of the frequentist method. The minimum of the sum of squared residuals is found by setting the gradient to zero. The maximum likelihood method carries out the observed data to estimate the parameter of a probability distribution by maximizing a likelihood function under the statistical model, while this estimator is obtained by a differential parameter of the likelihood function. The efficiency of two methods is considered by average mean square error for simulation data, and mean square error for actual data. For simulation data, the data are generated at only the first-order models of the RCA model. The results have shown that the least-squares method performs better than the maximum likelihood. The average mean square error of the least-squares method shows the minimum values in all cases that indicated their performance. Finally, these methods are applied to the actual data. The series of monthly averages of the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) index and daily volume of the exchange rate of Baht/Dollar are considered to estimate and forecast based on the RCA model. The result shows that the least-squares method outperforms the maximum likelihood method.

In this study, three models for the simulation of the number of breaks in a water main network are presented and compared: linear regression, the Weibull-Exponential-Exponential (WEE), and the Weibull-Exponential-Exponential-Exponential (WEEE) models. These models were calibrated using a database of recorded breaks in a real water main network of a municipality in the province of Québec, for the observation period 1976 to 1996, with the least squares and the maximum likelihood methods. The ability of these models to predict breaks over time was then evaluated by comparing the predicted number of breaks for the years 1997 to 2007 with the observed breaks in the network over the same time period. Results show that if the period of observation is short (around 20 years), calibration of the WEE and WEEE models with the maximum likelihood method leads to estimates that are closer to the observations than when these models are calibrated with the least squares method. When the observation period is longer (around 30 years), the predictions obtained with the models calibrated using the maximum likelihood or the least squares methods are similar. However, the use of the maximum likelihood method for calibration is only possible when data for the occurrence of each break for each pipe of the network are available (a pipe being a homogeneous network segment between two adjacent street junctions). If this is not the case, a trend line will be sufficient to predict the number of breaks over time, though this type of curve does not allow to account for pipe replacement scenarios. If the only information available is the total number of breaks on the network each year, then the impact of replacement scenarios could be simulated with the WEE and WEEE models calibrated using the least squares method.
