ECM-algorithms that converge at the rate of EM

The approach is motivated by the well known conjugate directions algorithm, and a special case of it is ... -
Markov Chain generated profile likelihood inference under generalized proportional to size non-ignorable non-response
Thomsen, Ib; Zhang, Li-Chun; Sexton, Joseph (Discussion Papers;No. 274, Working paper, 2000)We apply two non-ignorable non-response models to the data of the Norwegian Labour Force Survey, the Fertility Survey and the Alveolar Bone Loss Survey. Both models focus on the marginal effect which the object variable ...
