This example solves a nonlinear system of equations by Newton's method. Let the nonlinear system be represented by ...

Let be one of the likelihood functions described in the previous subsections. Let . Finding such that is maximized is equivalent to finding the solution to the likelihood equations With as the initial ...

Approximate solutions to more complex equations can be found using a process called iteration. Iteration means repeatedly carrying out a process. To solve an equation using iteration, start with an ...
