In most introdcuctory courses in matlhematical statistics,
students see examples and work problems in
which the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) of a
parameter turns out to be either the sample meani, the
sample variance, or the largest, or the smallest sample
item. The purpose of this note is to provide ani example
in wlhich the AILE is the sample median and a simple proof of this fact.

Maximization on matroids with random weights
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1991-01); NPS-OR-91-06In this work we develop a method for analyzing maximum weight selections in matroids with random element weights, especially exponentially distributed weights. We use the structure of the matroid dual to transform matroid ...
