A broadly applicable algorithm for computing maximum likelihood estimates from incomplete data is presented at various levels of generality. Theory showing the monotone behaviour of the likelihood and convergence of the algorithm is derived. Many examples are sketched, including missing value

problem; in particular, we present an Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm for adjusting the parame-ters of the architecture. We also develop an on-line learning algorithm in which the pa-rameters are updated incrementally. Comparative simulation results are presented in the robot dynamics domain.

. The EM algorithm performs maximum likelihood estimation for data in which some variables are unobserved. We present a function that resembles negative free energy and show that the M step maximizes this function with respect to the model parameters and the E step maximizes it with respect

introduced an algorithm called Structural EM that combines the standard Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm, which optimizes parameters, with structure search for model selection. That algorithm learns networks based on penalized likelihood scores, which include the BIC/MDL score and various

This paper introduces an expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm for image restoration (deconvolution) based on a penalized likelihood formulated in the wavelet domain. Regularization is achieved by promoting a reconstruction with low-complexity, expressed in terms of the wavelet coecients, taking

We describe the maximum-likelihood parameter estimation problem and how the Expectation-form of the EM algorithm as it is often given in the literature. We then develop the EM parameter estimation procedure for two applications: 1) finding the parameters of a mixture of Gaussian densities, and 2

The EM algorithm is not a single algorithm, but a framework for the design of iterative likelihood maximization methods for parameter estimation. Any algorithm based on the EM framework we refer to as an “EM algorithm”. Because there is no inclusive theory that applies to all EM algorithms

. In this paper we present an EM learning algorithm for a method which combines one of the basic forms of dime...

I present an expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm for principal component analysis (PCA). The algorithm allows a few eigenvectors and eigenvalues to be extracted from large collections of high dimensional data. It is computationally very efficient in space and time. It also naturally
