Reading 10b: Maximum Likelihood Estimates
ocw.mit.eduHere are some standard terms we will use as we do statistics. Experiment: Flip the coin 100 times and count the number of heads. Data: The data is the result of the experiment. In this case it is ‘55 heads’. Parameter(s) of interest: We are interested in the value of the unknown parameter p.
Maximum Likelihood (ML), Expectation Maximization (EM)
people.eecs.berkeley.eduFind maximum likelihood estimates of µ 1, µ 2 ! EM basic idea: if x(i) were known " two easy-to-solve separate ML problems ! EM iterates over ! E-step: For i=1,…,m fill in missing data x(i) according to what is most likely given the current model µ ! M-step: run ML for completed data, which gives new model µ
