The EM iterative algorithm is commonly used in recent years for missing data, which has the character of easy and popular applicability. But the EM algorithm has a fatal weakness that the convergence speed is slowly; Acceleration of the EM algorithm using the Aitken method is proposed in order to solve this problem.In Multi-user Detection, via this accelerated algorithm, we get a good performance which trends to ML performance, and compared its speed of convergence with the EM algorithm that Aitken-acceleration algorithm has faster convergence than the standard EM algorithm, and we also illustrate the performance of simulation.

The EM iterative algorithm is a very general and popular algorithm that commonly used for missing data to find maximum likelihood in recent years, which has the character of stability,flexibility and simlicity.However, the EM algorithm has a great weakness that the convergence speed is slowly; Acceleration of the EM algorithm using the Vector-ε method is proposed in order to solve this problem in this paper.In Multi-user Detection, via this accelerated algorithm, we get a good performance which trends to ML performance and improving the computational efficiency, and compared its speed of convergence with the EM algorithm that Vector-ε acceleration algorithm has faster convergence than the standard EM algorithm.

Missing data often occur in agriculture and animal husbandry experiment. The missing data in experimental design makes the information that we get less complete. In this research, the missing data was estimated with Yates method and Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm. The basic concept of the Yates method is to minimize sum square error (JKG), meanwhile the basic concept of the EM algorithm is to maximize the likelihood function. This research applied Balanced Lattice Design with 9 treatments, 4 replications and 3 group of each repetition. Missing data estimation results showed that the Yates method was better used for two of missing data in the position on a treatment, a column and random, meanwhile the EM algorithm was better used to estimate one of missing data and two of missing data in the position of a group and a replication. The comparison of the result JKG of ANOVA showed that JKG of incomplete data larger than JKG of incomplete data that has been added with estimator of data. This suggest  thatwe need to estimate the missing data.

Abstract We propose an extension of the EM algorithm that exploits the common assumption of unique parameterization, corrects for biases due to missing data and measurement error, converges for the specified model when standard implementation of the EM algorithm has a low probability of convergence, and reduces a potentially complex algorithm into a sequence of smaller, simpler, self-contained EM algorithms. We use the theory surrounding the EM algorithm to derive the theoretical results of our proposal, showing that an optimal solution over the parameter space is obtained. A simulation study is used to explore the finite sample properties of the proposed extension when there is missing data and measurement error. We observe that partitioning the EM algorithm into simpler steps may provide better bias reduction in the estimation of model parameters. The ability to breakdown a complicated problem in to a series of simpler, more accessible problems will permit a broader implementation of the EM algorithm, permit the use of software packages that now implement and/or automate the EM algorithm, and make the EM algorithm more accessible to a wider and more general audience.

In this paper, a new generalized t (new Gt) distribution based on a distribution construction approach is proposed and proved to be suitable for fitting both the data with high kurtosis and heavy tail. The main innovation of this article consists of four parts. First of all, the main characteristics and properties of this new distribution are outined. Secondly, we derive the explicit expression for the moments of order statistics as well as its corresponding variance–covariance matrix. Thirdly, we focus on the parameter estimation of this new Gt distribution and introduce several estimation methods, such as a modified method of moments (MMOM), a maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) using the EM algorithm, a novel iterative algorithm to acquire MLE, and improved probability weighted moments (IPWM). Through simulation studies, it can be concluded that the IPWM estimation performs better than the MLE using the EM algorithm and the MMOM in general. The newly-proposed iterative algorithm has better performance than the EM algorithm when the sample kurtosis is greater than 2.7. For four parameters of the new Gt distribution, a profile maximum likelihood approach using the EM algorithm is developed to deal with the estimation problem and obtain acceptable.
