A NOTE ON SOLVING THE LIKELIHOOD EQUATION IN LOGISTIC MODEL WITH THE MULTINOMIAL DISTRIBUTION Ewa Bakinowska Department of Mathematical and Statistical Methods, Poznań University of Life Sciences, Wojska Polskiego 28, 60-637 Poznań, Poland, e-mail: ewabak@up.poznan.pl |
In the paper the maximum likelihood equation of the logistic model with multinomial distribution is presented. Two iterative methods: the Fisher scoring method and the Newton-Raphson method are described. The Hessian matrix of likelihood function in logistic model with multinomial distribution is derived.
