Recursive Parameter Estimation Using Incomplete Data.
Abstract
Stochastic approximation procedures are considered for the estimation of parameters using incomplete data. One procedure is stated and illustrated which often leads to asymptotically efficient estimators. Others are developed which, although possibly not optimal in the above sense, will be very much easier to apply. This will be particularly advantageous when quick recursive estimates are required. Examples are given and a link is made between one of the sub-optimal methods and the EM algorithm. (Author)
