Estimation of (Co)variance Function Coefficients for Test Day Yield with a Expectation-Maximization Restricted Maximum Likelihood Algorithm

Maximum Lq-Likelihood Estimation via the Expectation Maximization Algorithm: A Robust Estimation of Mixture Models

We introduce a maximum Lq-likelihood estimation (MLqE) of mixture models using our proposed expectation maximization (EM) algorithm, namely the EM algorithm with Lq-likelihood (EM-Lq). Properties of the MLqE obtained from the proposed EMLq are studied through simulated mixture model data. Compared with the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) which is obtained from the EM algorithm, the MLqE pro...

Bayesian and Iterative Maximum Likelihood Estimation of the Coefficients in Logistic Regression Analysis with Linked Data

This paper considers logistic regression analysis with linked data. It is shown that, in logistic regression analysis with linked data, a finite mixture of Bernoulli distributions can be used for modeling the response variables. We proposed an iterative maximum likelihood estimator for the regression coefficients that takes the matching probabilities into account. Next, the Bayesian counterpart...

Parallelized formulation of the maximum likelihood-expectation maximization algorithm for fine-grain message-passing architectures

Recent architectural and technological advances have led to the feasibility of a new class of massively parallel processing systems based on a fine-grain, message-passing computational model. These machines provide a new alternative for the development of fast, cost-efficient Maximum Likelihood-Expectation Maximization (ML-EM) algorithmic formulations. As an important first step in determining ...
