Which of the following steps is NOT part of the MLE process? _____________________ A) Defining the likelihood function. B) Taking the logarithm of the likelihood function. C) Differentiating the likelihood with respect to the parameters. D) Minimizing the likelihood function to find the parameter estimates.

When using the Maximum A-Posterior estimation technique, the solution will be equivalent to the Maximum Likelihood Estimate solution when the prior probability distribution is Gaussian.  True/False ______________

The following late policy will be enforced for all assignments and quizzes (no late submissions will be available in this course for discussions, extra credit, dyadic interviews, any assignments within the orientation module or the final reflection paper): Any assignment or quiz submitted after the specified due date will automatically incur a 50% penalty, which will be deducted from the final score. For example, if an assignment is due November 9, at 11:59 pm and a student submits the assignment or quiz any time after the due date, lets say November 10, 2024, and earns 80% after the 50% penalty, the assignment’s final grade will result in a 40% grade earned. Any assignment example is provided below.  This penalty will be applied to the final score of the late submission. No feedback will be provided for any late assignments. No assignments or quizzes will be available for late submission within the last week of class.   Assignment Example (exclusions apply, see above)
