We describe statistical inference of neighbor-dependent models using a Markov chain Monte Carlo expectation maximization (MCMC-EM) algorithm. In the MCMC-EM algorithm, the high-dimensional integrals ...

We introduce a maximum Lq-likelihood estimation (MLqE) of mixture models using our proposed expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm, namely the EM algorithm with Lq-likelihood (EM-Lq). Properties of ...

We developed an expectation–maximization (EM) algorithm to estimate the variance parameter of the prior distribution for each regression coefficient.
