ML estimation for factor analysis: EM or non-EM?
To obtain maximum likelihood (ML) estimation in factor analysis (FA), we propose in this paper a novel and fast conditional maximization (CM) algorithm, which has quadratic and monotone convergence, consisting of a sequence of CM log-likelihood (CML) steps. The main contribution of this algorithm is that the closed form expression for the parameter to be updated in each step can be obtained exp...
متن کاملOn Convergence of the EM-ML Algorithm for PET Reconstruction
The EM-ML (expectation-maximization, maximum-likelihood) algorithm for PET reconstruction is an iterative method. Sequence convergence to a fixed point that satisfies the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions for optimality has previously been established [1, 2, 3]. This correspondence first gives an alternative proof of sequence convergence and optimality based on direct expansion of certain Kullback ...
متن کاملA Focus-of-Attention EM-ML Algorithm for PET Reconstruction
The EM{ML algorithm belongs to a family of algorithms that compute PET (positron emission tomography) reconstructions by iteratively solving a large linear system of equations. We describe a preprocessing scheme for focusing the attention, and thus the computational resources, on a subset of the equations and unknowns in order to reduce both the time and space requirements of such algorithms. T...
متن کاملDistribution range of cervical interlaminar epidural injections: a comparative study with 2.5 mL, 5 mL, and 10 mL of contrast.
BACKGROUND Cervical interlaminar epidural injection (CIEI) is widely used in the management of acute or chronic neck and upper extremity pain. There is no consensus regarding the optimal volume of solution to be used for CIEI. STUDY DESIGN Randomized, double blind controlled trial. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate how many spinal segments would be covered with different v...
متن کاملAnalysis and Control of the Accuracy and Convergence of the ML-EM Iteration
In inverse problems like tomography reconstruction we need to solve an over-determined linear system corrupted with noise. The MLEM algorithm finds the solution for Poisson noise as the fixed point of iterating a forward projection and a non-linear back projection. In tomography we have several hundred million equations and unknowns. The elements of the huge matrix are high-dimensional integral...
