A multiple-imputation Metropolis version of the EM algorithm

Carlo Gaetan

Biometrika, 2003, vol. 90, issue 3, 643-654

Abstract: In this paper we introduce a new stochastic variant of the EM algorithm. The algorithm combines the principle of multiple imputation and the theory of simulated annealing to deal with cases where the E-step and the M-step can be intractable or numerically inefficient.
