Some strange things happened here. There is a portion in the last part saying:

"However, in some cases, as in the above example of the gamma distribution, the likelihood equations may be intractable without computers..."

There is no such example above and there seems to have never been. I wonder, was this article taken from a source? Is it incomplete?
