Thanks David for explanation, Can I say that: 1) For EM, E-step: \int p(x) log(q(x)) dx and in Maximization wrt some parameter, we can take p(x) as fixed ie M : \int p(x) (log(q(x))' dx
and 2) Entropy = - \int p(x) log(p(x)) dx and in maximization, we use differentiation (of multiples rule) for some parameter, we get M : -\int p(x)' log(p(x)) dx Cheers, Vimal . . ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list, remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES, and archives are available at: . http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ . =================================================================
