Text of the page (random words):
n s true parameter set lies inside the art of choosing the fixed log likelihood difference is to make the confidence acceptably high while keeping the region acceptably small narrow range of estimates as more data are observed instead of being used to make independent estimates they can be combined with the previous samples to make a single combined sample and that large sample may be used for a new maximum likelihood estimate as the size of the combined sample increases the size of the likelihood region with the same confidence shrinks eventually either the size of the confidence region is very nearly a single point or the entire population has been sampled in both cases the estimated parameter set is essentially the same as the population parameter set aic based interpretation edit
