The EM Algorithm

An intro to the EM algorithm with a difficult and detailed example!

In this article, I will introduce the EM algorithm. I read it a while ago and was re-introduced to it by the Elements of Statistical learning
I present a few solutions to exercises and also solve a detailed example using the EM algorithm. This will demonstrate both, the power, but also challenge of using the EM algorithm!
I have also implemented this in code that is also attached here!

I hope you enjoyed reading the article

Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
