MLE fortran routine (1997-2000)


One of the tasks involved in the research work vot 71064 was to write a fortran computational routine named MLE employing the method of Maximum Likelihood Estimates. This routine was written to handle the computation of VCE to determine the standard deviation of surveying observational data used in the project. The MLE routine was successfully used to compute the accuracy of consists of horizontal angles and distance measured by theodolite and EDM respectively.

The data used were taken from a previous project in Peru surveyed by research group from UNB. These data were chosen because they (the UNB group) have done a similar job of evaluating the observational errors of such data. Therefore, I can compare the result of my computation with their result for the same network.
