We show that a non-identifiability problem can occur when one attempts to estimate the degrees of freedom and the unstructured covariance matrix simultaneously in a Gaussian-inverted Wishart model, using the maximum likelihood approach. However, the EM algorithm may falsely converge to give finite e
