The distribution of Near-Earth Objects, in particular Near-Earth asteroids is examined using maximum likelihood methods. These are analysed with respect magnitudes, taxonomic classes and to their orbital distances. Comparisons are made with the distributions of main-belt asteroids and short-period comets.
