We will discuss the implications of these factors and present an EM-type algorithm for estimating allele frequencies of a polyploid population under certain patterns of inheritance.

This example estimates the normal SSM of the mink-muskrat data using the EM algorithm. The mink-muskrat series are detrended. Refer to Harvey (1989) for details of this data set. Since this EM ...

Two convergence aspects of the EM algorithm are studied: (i) does the EM algorithm find a local maximum or a stationary value of the (incomplete-data) likelihood function? (ii) does the sequence of ...

The basic idea is to use the fact that the rate of convergence of EM is governed by the fractions of missing information to find the increased variability due to missing information to add to the ...

This is reasonable in many tomographic problems. The step of the MART algorithm for (4.1) is as follows: MART is an example of a multiplicative algorithm, see Pierro (1990); another example is the EM ...
