Abstract

In this paper a second-order link between adjusted profile likelihoods and refinements of the estimative predictive density is shown. The result provides a new straightforward interpretation for modified profile likelihoods, that complements results in Severini (1998a) and in Pace and Salvan (2006). Moreover, it outlines a form of consistency to second order between likelihood theory and prediction in frequentist inference.
