摘要
Nonparametric maximum likelihood (NPML) estimation for exponential families with unspecified dispersion parameter A suffers from computational instability, which can lead to highly fluctuating EM trajectories and suboptimal solutions, in particular when A is allowed to vary over mixture components. In this paper, a damped version of the EM algorithm is proposed to cope with these problems.
