Hi, If in EM, I assume that p(x) is a known\complete pdf and q(x) being the pdf of incomplete data, then
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 known then M : \int p(x) (log(q(x))' dx Thanks, 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/ . =================================================================
