The likelihood of rain tomorrow affects our decision to hold the outdoor concert.

The likelihoods of each outcome were calculated before we made a decision.

In all likelihood, the committee will approve the proposal tomorrow.

In their spectral analysis seminar, the students compared different Whittle likelihoods to see which provided more robust parameter estimates.

When estimating spectral parameters, researchers often maximize the Whittle likelihood because it simplifies computation for long stationary Gaussian time series.
