DESCRIPTION:Non-parametric maximum likelihood estimators arise from either
 \nshape-constrained or penalised maximisation of the likelihood function. 
 In\nthis talk I give an overview of the mathematical ideas behind various\
 naspects of the theory related to penalisation\, covering existence\,\nuni
 queness\, rates of convergence\, and computational issues.\n
