Sublime! Great presentation in 2 minutes!

Sorry about the bad audio quality! If it wasn't clear, at 1:10 I am saying that using log-likelihood is great because you can avoid multiplying lots of very small numbers together which often causes underflow. I.e. using log-likelihood means you don't have to worry about underflow.

welldone!!! why we multiply and take log....never understood, ...untill i realized the independence of observations (after watching this video) thankyou.

Succinct and accurate. Needed a quick refresher and this is perfect!

this is so well explained, I saw all the complex math formulas and had no idea what it is about, but this 2 min video gave me a good idea about log likelihood.

This is by far the best and simplest explanation on why we use log likelihood. Much better explanation than Ben Lambert or Josh Starmer's videos. Thank you!

[kxiong]

Very well explained and right to the point! Thank you for your video <3

Nice video expect the background music is very distracting.
