SQUAREM: An R Package for Off-the-Shelf Acceleration of EM, MM and Other EM-Like Monotone Algorithms

We discuss the R package SQUAREM for accelerating iterative algorithms which exhibit slow, monotone convergence. These include the well-known expectation-maximization algorithm, majorize-minimize (MM), and other EM-like algorithms such as expectation conditional maximization, and generalized EM algo...
