S-Pluser's,

I'm trying to avoid re-inventing the wheel if it is at all possible.

The EM algorithm has been around quite a while and there are several examples
given in the original paper by Dempster, et.al and books such as Tanner,
Thisted, and others. I'm wondering has anyone written "efficient" S-Plus
code
that computes the results offered by these authors. In other words, is there a
"compendium" of EM examples with S-Plus code to show their solutions ?


I would appreciate any direction that you folks can offer.

Cheers,

Calvin L. Williams
