Whereas the simplex algorithm in the empirical Bayesian method of Xu (2007) cannot handle classification predictor variables, the expectation–maximization (EM) algorithm (Dempster et al., 1977 ...

Although the conventional method of inference using the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm by Excoffier and Slatkin is one standard approach, ...

This paper shows that the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm for regime-switching dynamic factor models provides satisfactory performance relative to other estimation methods and delivers a good ...

The basic reconstruction algorithm is EM (Expectation Maximization) or OSEM (Ordered Subset Expectation Maximization). Variational penalty terms can be included. Extensions allow to estimate motion ...
