For neither does the maximum likelihood estimator exist in the conventional sense. The new data set is much bigger and takes 4 days of computer time to use the methods of the 2009 article but only seconds with the methods of the new article.enexponential family of distributionsmaximum likelihoodBarndorff-Nielsen completionTwo data sets that are examples for an article titled "Computationally efficient likelihood inference in exponential families when the maximum likelihood estimator does not exist"Dataset
