Summary The standard procedure of maximum likelihood estimation is stated. This procedure is applied to derive maximum likelihood estimators in some seismological problems, namely amplitude and phase corrections, group and phase velocities of surface waves and derivatives of traveltime curves dt/dΔ . The formulas for confidence regions for these functions are obtained.
