A consensus algorithm is the rule a distributed network follows to agree on which new block is added to a blockchain, so every honest node ends up with the same ledger without trusting any single ...

Abstract: In this paper, we develop an importance sampling based expectation-maximization (IS-EM) algorithm for sequence detection in outdoor optical wireless communication (OWC). Specifically, the ...

Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research says that when quantum computing becomes generally available, evolutionary algorithms for training huge neural networks could become a very important and ...

cat(i,p,q,r,"\n") # print all the values obtained in each iterate. lr[,1] <- log2(RG$R[,1])-log2(RG$G[,1]) lr[,2] <- log2(RG$G[,2])-log2(RG$R[,2]) lr[,3] <- log2(RG$R ...

Hi all, I've been trying out splink for some larger scale probabilistic linkages at the Australian Bureau of Statistics (along with @nerskin). I thought you'd be interested to hear about a potential ...

Abstract: In this work, the convergence rates of direction of arrival (DOA) estimates using the expectation-maximization (EM) and space alternating generalized EM (SAGE) algorithms are investigated.

The EM algorithm is a very popular maximum likelihood estimation method, the iterative algorithm for solving the maximum likelihood estimator when the observation data is the incomplete data, but also ...
