Impact of Missing Data on Parameter Estimation of EM Algorithm under Rayleigh Distribution

Article Preview

Abstract:

Is EM algorithm parameter estimation under Rayleigh distribution sensitive to missing data and if it is, what extent is it By designing computer simulation methods, contrast and analyze the results of maximum likelihood estimation and EM algorithm estimation under different missing rate. It shows that the results were almost identical when the missing rate is below 0.30, but the efficiency of EM algorithm gradually deteriorates as the missing rate increases. Meanwhile the results also show that the EM algorithm is sensitive to sample size and the selection of initial value.
