Gauss process state-space model optimization algorithm with expectation maximization

Space-Alternating Generalized Expectation-Maximization Algorithm

The expectation-maximization (EM) method can facilitate maximizing likelihood functions that arise in statistical estimation problems. In the classical EM paradigm, one iteratively maximizes the conditional log-likelihood of a single unobservable complete data space, rather than maximizing the intractable likelihood function for the measured or incomplete data. EM algorithms update all paramete...

Expectation Maximization Deconvolution Algorithm

In this paper, we use a general mathematical and experimental methodology to analyze image deconvolution. The main procedure is to use an example image convolving it with a know Gaussian point spread function and then develop algorithms to recover the image. Observe the deconvolution process by adding Gaussian and Poisson noise at different signal to noise ratios. In addition, we will describe ...

The Expectation Maximization Algorithm

This note represents my attempt at explaining the EM algorithm (Hartley, 1958; Dempster et al., 1977; McLachlan and Krishnan, 1997). This is just a slight variation on TomMinka’s tutorial (Minka, 1998), perhaps a little easier (or perhaps not). It includes a graphical example to provide some intuition. 1 Intuitive Explanation of EM EM is an iterative optimizationmethod to estimate some unknown ...
