\subsection{\bf Comparison of Two Error}
\subsection{\bf Estimates in Maximum Likelihood---II}

\begin{slide}
\begin{itemize}
\item The correct statement is that your results are simply unreliable
for small $n$, and error is not calculable from likelihood function
alone.

\item The error is defined for small $n$, but must be calculated as in
(a)---this is general as not possible to do with just the single
experiment with only a few $(n)$ observations.

\item Note that when math books discuss maximum likelihood estimate for
small $n$---it is only the value $\alpha^*$ they discuss and not the
shape of $L$ and the method (b) of finding error.
\end{itemize}
