Estimation of variance components for bodyweight of grasscutters using expectation maximization algorithm of restricted maximum likelihood

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...

Sequential transformation for multiple traits for estimation of (co)variance components with a derivative-free algorithm for restricted maximum likelihood.

Transformation of multiple-trait records that undergo sequential selection can be used with derivative-free algorithms to maximize the restricted likelihood in estimation of covariance matrices as with derivative methods. Data transformation with appropriate parts of the Choleski decomposition of the current estimate of the residual covariance matrix results in mixed-model equations that are ea...

Maximum likelihood estimation of K-distribution parameters via the expectation-maximization algorithm

Estimation of Genotypic Correlation and Heritability of some of Traits in Faba Bean Genotypes Using Restricted Maximum Likelihood (REML)

In order to estimation genotypic correlation and heritability of some faba bean traits, 26 faba bean genotypes were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications during 2014-16 growing seasons in Agricultural Research Sation of Borujerd located in Lorestan province, Iran. The restricted maximum likelihood (REML) was used to estimate the genotypic and phenotypic correla...
