On a problem of Andersson and Perlman

M. A. Steel and G. R. Wood

Statistics & Probability Letters, 1993, vol. 18, issue 5, 381-382

Abstract: We present a simple solution to a problem posed recently by Andersson and Perlman. This solution allows us to find the conditional independence assumptions necessary to permit maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters of a multivariate normal distribution, when certain observations are missing.
