| DEFINITION |
A statistical criterion for the estimation of parameters in models. The method aims to maximize the likelihood (probability) of having collected the observed data, given predictions from a model. For example, VPA tuning often involves finding the estimates of abundance and mortality rates that maximize the likelihood for the observed standardised CPUE.
