• The Mayo Foundation is a part of the Graduate School of the Univereity of Minnesota. 1 Unless otherwise specified, the x' referred to is the classic x' of Pearson. Appendix Note 1 should be read for the definition of the minimum x' estimate. • It is worth noting that in deriving the x' estimate, we needed only to be able to write the expectation PN, but to derive the maximum likelihood estimate, we needed to asaume that the ob... rved :II ie
