These observations are assumed to be drawn from some probability distribution, say $p(x | \theta)$, where $\theta$ represents the unknown parameters of the model. The likelihood function is the product of the probability density (or mass) functions for all observations:

The objective of MLE is to find the parameter values that maximize the log-likelihood function. This is typically done by taking the derivative of the log-likelihood with respect to the parameter $\theta$, setting it equal to zero, and solving for $\theta$:
