Maximum likelihood
•
We would like to analyze how the DVH is correlated
with risk
•
In particular: what is the optimal n in the LKB dose
reduction
•
Intuitively:
•
We want to find parameters that maximize p(EUD) for
patients experiencing toxicity
•
We want to find parameters that minimize p(EUD) for
patients
not
experiencing toxicity
