Convergence of the Expectation Maximization Algorithm for the Conditionally Independent Model to the Global Maximum

Original language description

This contribution builds on M.I. Schlesinger's results. M.I. Schlesinger discovered that in a special case of a statistical model (conditional independence with two hidden states only) the EM algorithm converges to a global extreme. Under the same assumptions we shortened and simplified the proof of global convergence. We also smoothed away two minor imprecisions in the original proof and learned that they do not affect validity.
