DESCRIPTION:Nonparametric maximum likelihood estimators arise from either 
 shape-constrained\nor penalised maximisation of the likelihood function. I
 n this talk I give an\noverview of the mathematical ideas behind various a
 spects of the theory related\nto penalisation\, covering existence\, uniqu
 eness\, rates of convergence\, and\ncomputational issues.
