![Two ways to compute maximum likelihood estimates in SAS](https://blogs.sas.com/content/iml/files/2017/06/loglikcreate2-640x336.png)
In a previous article, I showed two ways to define a log-likelihood function in SAS. This article shows two ways to compute maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs) in SAS: the nonlinear optimization subroutines in SAS/IML and the NLMIXED procedure in SAS/STAT. To illustrate these methods, I will use the same data
