Intro to Time Series
Likelihood is a statistical measure of how well a particular model explains or predicts the observed data, calculated based on the probability of the data given the model parameters. In model selection, higher likelihood values indicate that a model better fits the data, making likelihood a central concept in determining which model to choose among competing options. This measure serves as the foundation for various criteria used in model evaluation and selection processes.
