Abstract :
For original paper see ibid., vol. 28, p. 65-72 (1993). The approximations connected with the ML in its `classic´ form (hrMLH) are very well pointed out, introducing the terms S1 and S2 which provide a generalized, unbiased form of the maximum likelihood method, called grMLH. The original author replies to the discussion
