But I don't see any references to "$\mu$" anywhere and it's unclear what you consider the likelihood to be a function of.
Oct 20, 2023 at 13:46 comment added The Pointer @whuber The $x_i$ are the points/occurrences, $N$ is the total number of points/occurrences, and $\mu$ is the position/location in $W$. I guess the lower $u_i$ should be $x_i$.

Oct 20, 2023 at 13:44 comment added whuber Please explain the extra variables that appear in the formulas: the $x_i$ at top (which are not in the left hand side) and the $u_i$ at the bottom (ditto). How are they related? And is $N=n$?
