Sandsynlighedsprofiler
Sandsynlighedsprofiler, often translated as probability profiles or likelihood profiles, are a statistical tool used to visualize the range of plausible values for a parameter. They are particularly useful in statistical inference, especially when dealing with complex models or when exact confidence intervals are difficult to compute. A sandsynlighedsprofil plots the likelihood function for a specific parameter of interest, holding other parameters fixed at their maximum likelihood estimates. The resulting curve shows how the likelihood changes as the parameter varies, allowing one to identify values that are more or less likely according to the data.

In practice, sandsynlighedsprofiler are often used to construct confidence intervals. A common method involves identifying the
