This example estimates the normal SSM of the mink-muskrat data using the EM algorithm. The mink-muskrat series are detrended. Refer to Harvey (1989) for details of this data set. Since this EM ...

This condition may not be fulfilled in some standard inverse problems like, for example, the deconvolution problem and the Wicksell problem discretized in a standard way. The condition may be ...

Then, based on these degradation values, we use a modified EM-algorithm to predict the failure times of the censored units. The resulting estimator of the mean failure time is shown to be a consistent ...
