Fitdistr and MLE for parameter lambda of Poisson distribution
Hello!
I would like to get MLE for parameter lambda of Poisson distribution. I
can use fitdistr() for this. After looking a bit into the code of this
function I can see that value for lambda and its standard error is
estimated via
estimate <- mean(x)
sds <- sqrt(estimate/n)
Is this MLE? With my poor math/stat knowledge I thought that MLE for
Poisson parameter is (in mixture of LaTeX
