A Simple Method for the Adjustment of Profile Likelihoods

We propose a simple adjustment for profile likelihoods. The aim of the adjustment is to alleviate some of the problems inherent in the use of profile likelihoods, such as bias, inconsistency and overoptimistic variance estimates. The adjustment is applied to the profile log-likelihood score function...
