Abstract

The quasi-likelihood and maximum likelihood algorithms of duration estimation have been synthesized and analyzed. The losses in accuracy of quasi-likelihood estimate caused by a priori lack of knowledge of pulse intensity were also found. The accuracy of the maximum likelihood estimate of duration was found to be asymptotically invariant to the presence of a priori information about the pulse intensity.
