Abstract
We consider the problem of estimating an unknown deterministic parameter vector in a linear model with a Gaussian model matrix. We derive the maximum likelihood (ML) estimator for this problem and show that it can be found using a simple line-search over a unimodal function that can be efficiently evaluated. We then discuss the similarity between the ML, the total least squares (TLS), the regularized TLS, and the expected least squares estimators.
