The multilevel hierarchical data EM-algorithm. Applications to discrete-time Markov chain epidemic models
The theory of multilevel hierarchical data Expectation Maximization (EM)-algorithm is introduced via discrete time Markov chain (DTMC) epidemic models. A general model for a multilevel hierarchical discrete data is derived. The observed sample Y in the system is a stochastic incomplete data, and the...
