| Mar 8, 2014 at 19:06 | comment | added | rhombidodecahedron | I'm building a statistical model and trying to obtain the maximum likelihood estimate of its parameters. This is the derivative of the log likelihood function set equal to zero. I considered posting to CrossValidated but, although the motivation is statistical, the solution seems to me to be purely algebraic. You are right that it's a scary beast. | |
