It is often not possible to construct a probability density function that describes the data. This can happen if there is no analytic description, and the number of parameters is too large so that it is impossible to simulate and tabulate all combinations. In these situations it is still interesting to rank simulation sets performed with different parameters in how well they compare to data. We propose a solution that appears to be better suited to this task than some of the obvious alternatives.

Applications of maximum likelihood estimations for analyzing photon counts in few atom experiments
Maximum likelihood estimation on model fluorescence distributions that include light-assisted-collision loss recovers atom-number proportions in a tight optical tweezer with few-percent accuracy from about 600 test runs.

State of the Ice Model in the IceCube Observatory
The IceCube ice model has improved steadily since AMANDA but still does not reach the statistical floor set by its own simulation of calibration data.
