متن کاملNote on “Obtaining the Maximum Likelihood Estimates in Incomplete
This note extends the construction of the design matrix used for estimating cell probabilities with ignorable missing data described by Lipsitz et al. (1998). A reformulation for the general case of an n-way table is described, and implemented in a SAS macro program. The macro constructs this design matrix and offset variable, estimates the cell probabilities, and returns a table with the estim...
متن کاملImproving EM Algorithm Estimates for Record Linkage Parameters
The EM algorithm can be used to estimate conditional probabilities for matching field patterns for the Fellegi-Sunter model for record linkage. The algorithm is based on a latent class model for the record pairs where one of the classes is the set of true matches. If the number of true match pairs in the data set is too small, then the EM algorithm cannot detect the correct latent class. We con...
متن کاملMaximum likelihood estimation from fuzzy data using the EM algorithm
A method is proposed for estimating the parameters in a parametric statistical model when the observations are fuzzy and are assumed to be related to underlying crisp realizations of a random sample. This method is based on maximizing the observeddata likelihood defined as the probability of the fuzzy data. It is shown that the EM algorithm may be used for that purpose, which makes it possible ...
متن کاملEstimation of Variance Components : What is Missing the EM Algorithm ?
The EM algorithm is a frequently advocated algorithm for the estimation of variance components. A faster converging algorithm is developed using alternative parameter-izations based on the analysis of variance. The procedure is exemplified using designs with two and three variance components and wi.th multivariate designs using parameter values relevant to animal breeding data. 1. THE MODEL We ...
