Improving the Performance and Understanding of the Expectation Maximization Algorithm: Evolutionary and Visualization Methods

The Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm is a method for learning the parameters of probabilistic graphical models when there is hidden or missing data. The goal of an EM algorithm is to estimate a set of parameters that maximizes the likelihood of the data. In spite of its success in practice, t...
