Maximum Likelihood Estimation

Hello all,

I am a new in Matlab and i am trying to estimate some parameters with MLE. I try both 'mle' and the Statistical Toolbox' but I can't specify the form of my equation function.

Could someone help on how can I specify the form of equation function

Thanks in advance ,

Are you sure that mle() does not do what you want? The documentation says, "MLE can also fit a custom distribution that you define using distribution functions, in one of three ways: ..."

Did you try one of those ways?

I need to define a mixture of trhree Poisson distribution ( which results to a Poisson one) so I was looking for Poisson function.

I'll give it a try

Many Thanks
