My understanding at 5:03, in reference to using the model-implied cov to calculate likelihoods: we do not care about the ML being closer to 0 when estimating lines with missing observations, because the missing value can be anything. The likelihood of seeing 2/5 variables is higher than 5/5, but this is fine because we actually are more likely to observe the two than we are to oberve a specific and full set of 5.
In this context, MLE typically refers to applying ML to sample covariance matrix calculated from complete observations and FIML refers to the technique that uses all observations whether complete or not. When it can be applied, FIML is strictly superior to MLE which means that it is always better or at least equally good as MLE.
@@mronkko thank you for your explanation,, but i still confuse about "meaning of complete observation". for example VAR model that is time series model,, if it's paramaters can be estimated using FIML if observation is not complete?
@@thetamaeleven869 If you structure your data as a matrix, where observations are on rows, an observation is complete if a row has no missing values. I see no reason why you could not estimate a VAR model using FIML as long as FIML estimator is implemented for the VAR command in your statistical software. I do not work on time series models myself but always use panel data for longitudinal analyses.
The videos that I post are based on my research or courses that I teach. I have not taught concentrated likelihood (or profile likelihood) as a part of any of my courses. Can you explain a bit about the context of what you ask? I mean, I teach applied research methods for social scientists. What should those researchers know about profile likelihoods? And what would you like to know about it?
Thankyou so much for replying i'm a postgrad econ student we have a chapter called concentrated likelihood under MLE , it is used in Seemingly unrelated regressions and Panel data models mostly, if its possible can you please cover them. I love your way of teaching thanks for these videos.

That is, I'm confirming this understanding is correct. Initially, I was confused why we didn't compensate for this
@@George70220 That is right.
Extremely useful video. Thank you for uploading
Glad it was helpful!
what is difference between MLE and FIML for estimating simultaneous equations?

Please upload lectures on concentrated likelihood as well.

@@kanikabagree1084 Can you provide a citation to the book chapter.
Tnx
please show the procedure nun in spss
I am stupid that how I dont understand it haizz.
I am not really sure what you are asking. If you can be more specific on what you do not understand, it would be easier to comment something useful.
