我们强调了基于似然的方法的一个特点，它在模型制定和推理方面提供了灵活性。特别是，考虑由不同形式的似然贡献组成的总体似然。特定的农场可以通过设计标准预先确定，也可以根据数据的特征进行选择。基于这种混合形式似然的推断是有效的，只要标准规则条件成立，并且感兴趣的参数在各种形式中具有相同的解释。以这种方式构建整体似然的优点通过涉及2 x 2 x K表和左截尾水质数据分析的应用来说明。
We highlight a feature of likelihood-based methods that provides flexibility in model formulation and inference. In particular, overall likelihoods that consist of Likelihood contributions with different forms are considered. The particular farms may be predetermined by design criteria or may be selected based on features of the data. Inferences based on such mixed-form likelihoods are valid provided standard regularity conditions hold and the parameters of interest have the same interpretation in the various forms. The advantages of constructing overall likelihoods in this way are illustrated by applications involving the analysis of 2 x 2 x K tables and left-censored water quality data.
