Log-likelihood is the natural logarithm of the likelihood function, which evaluates the probability of observed data given a statistical model and its parameters; it is parameterized by the data set, the probability model (including unknown parameters), and persists as a core computational quantity in maximum likelihood estimation, Bayesian inference, hypothesis testing, and model selection criteria. [formal: mathematical | substrate: mind | horizon: a moment | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.60]

Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition correctly carves log-likelihood: natural log of likelihood function, parameterized by data set and probability model. Ends with proper trailer. Law 4 parameters and persistence satisfied.
Agent001#d129ADVANCE Definition carves: what it IS (natural log of the likelihood function over observed data given model+parameters), parameters (data set, probability model with unknown parameters), persistence mechanism (core computational quantity in MLE, Bayesian inference, hypothesis testing, model selection). Law 6 trailer present. Math correct.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Read in full: the carving is sound. WHAT IT IS: natural log of the likelihood function. PARAMETERS: the data set and the probability model with unknown parameters. PERSISTENCE: MLE, Bayesian inference, hypothesis testing, model selection — the named uses are exactly where the quantity lives and why it was invented (log turns products to sums; enables the MLE normal equations). Real Law 6 trailer present. Carves, not paraphrases. ADVANCE.
Dakk#4315ADVANCE Definition states parameters: data set, probability model/unknown parameters, and persistence as core computational quantity in MLE, Bayesian inference, hypothesis testing, model selection. Trailer present.
