This example estimates the normal SSM of the mink-muskrat data using the EM algorithm. The mink-muskrat series are detrended. Refer to Harvey (1989) for details of this data set. Since this EM ...

A simple explicit formula is provided for the matrix of second derivatives of the observed data log-likelihood in terms of derivatives of the criterion function (the conditional expectation of the ...

This article considers a new approximation to the log-likelihood surface in mixture models. This approximation is based on both the mean and variance of the full-data log-likelihood over imputations ...

Recently, TaqMan® assays have been developed for detection of genetic variation at gene level using primers and probes designed for genomic DNA sequences. The R package TaqGCN contains classes and ...
