iii
The joint maximum-likelihood estimators are functions of the observations selecting a maximizing parameter pair:
(μ​,λ)∈μ∈R,λ>0argmax​L(μ,λ;X1​,…,Xn​).​
(1)
The estimates after observation maximize the same likelihood function with Xi​=xi​. Maximization may be nonunique, as for an even sample size, or may fail to yield a finite admissible pair, as in the one-observation case below. The definition does not turn a boundary supremum into an attained maximum.
