A note on pseudolikelihood constructed from marginal densities
Abstract
For likelihood‐based inference involving distributions in which high‐dimensional dependencies are present it may be useful to use approximate likelihoods based, for example, on the univariate or bivariate marginal distributions. The asymptotic properties of formal maximum likelihood estimators in such cases are outlined. In particular, applications in which only a single q×1 vector of observations is observed are examined. Conditions under which consistent estimators of parameters result from the approximate likelihood using only pairwise joint distributions are studied. Some examples are analysed in detail.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
