Abstract: Profile methods, i.e., profile values, profile traces, profile transformations, and profile diagnostic plots, are introduced in a general setting and an interesting feature of profile transforms, the boxing property is pointed out. Profile methods are then discussed ill the frameworks of likelihood and Bayesian inference. Links with approximate Bayesian marginalization, Jeffrey's prior, and importance sampling are made. Some pecularities of profile transforms for posterior distributions are investigated.
