Abstract

We describe some recent approaches to likelihood based inference in the presence of nuisance parameters. Our approach is based on plotting the likelihood function and the p-value function, using recently developed third order approximations. Orthogonal parameters and adjustments to profile likelihood are also discussed. Connections to classical approaches of conditional and marginal inference are outlined.
