Mar 4, 2017 at 14:34 comment added user83346 The likelihood function is a function of the parameter $\theta$ as in your notation. The value(s) that maximise(s) the likelihood is (are) one particluar values $\hat{\theta}$ for $\theta$.
Mar 4, 2017 at 12:58 comment added Łukasz Grad I even think your notation is desired, since writing $\theta_i$ may lead one to thinking the parameter $\theta = [\theta_1, \dots, \theta_n]$ is a vector
