The EM algorithm is used for many applications, including the Boltzmann machine, stochastic Perceptron, and HMM. This algorithm gives an iterating procedure for calculating the MLE of stochastic models which have hidden random variables. It is simple, but the convergence is slow. We also have the Fi

The relation between hard c-means (HCM), fuzzy c-means (FCM), fuzzy learning vector quantization (FLVQ), soft competition scheme (SCS) of Yair et al. (1992) and probabilistic Gaussian mixtures (GM) have been pointed out recently by Bezdek and Pal (1995). We extend this relation to their training, sh
Maximum likelihood estimation of the multivariate t distribution, especially with unknown degrees of freedom, has been an interesting topic in the development of the EM algorithm. After a brief review of the EM algorithm and its application to finding the maximum likelihood estimates of the paramete
