This paper describes an algorithm for maximising a conditional likelihood function when the corresponding unconditional likelihood function is more easily maximised. The algorithm is similar to the EM ...

We present an implementable algorithm for solving constrained optmization problems defined by functions that are not everywhere differentiable. The method is based on combining, modifying and ...

By meeting the strict standards set forth in the mean-plus-function algorithm cases you will file more detailed applications that have better disclosure and which will undoubtedly support more ...
