MLE derivation for RV that follows Binomial distribution
$begingroup$
Looking at Cambridge stats notes (page 10). They have that $X sim B(n,p)$ and they show that the log likelihood of the data is maximized when $frac{x}{hat{p}}-frac{n-x}{1-hat{p}} = 0$. But when I derive this, I have a plus in there:
$$text{log likelihood}(p) = log f(x|p) = text{constant} + x log{p} + (n-x) log{1-p}$$
When you take a derivative of that with respect to $p$, you get:
$$frac{x}{p} + frac{n-x}{1-p}$$
What's wrong here?

As we differentiate, we use chain rule
$$frac{d}{dp}(xlog p + (n-x) log (1-p))= frac{x}{p}+frac{n-x}{1-p}frac{d}{dp}(1-p)=frac{x}{p}-frac{n-x}{1-p}$$
