When proliferating cells are counted in several independent colonies at some time points, the maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters of the multitype branching process are obtained trough an expectation maximization algorithm. In the case of an offspring distribution governed by a Markov branching process with binary family trees, this method, relying then on a partial knowledge of the tree, yields the same estimates as those computed with the complete knowledge of the tree.

Ratings from multiple human annotators are often pooled in applications where the ground truth is hidden. Examples include annotating perceived emotions and assessing quality metrics for speech and image. These ratings are not restricted to a single dimension and can be multidimensional. In this paper, we propose an expectation-maximization based algorithm to model such ratings. Our model assumes that there exists a latent multidimensional ground truth that can be determined from the observation features and that the ratings provided by the annotators are noisy versions of the ground truth. We test our model on a study conducted on children with autism to predict a four dimensional rating of expressivity, naturalness, pronunciation goodness and engagement. Our goal in this application is to reliably predict the individual annotator ratings which can be used to address issues of cognitive load on the annotators as well as the rating cost. We initially train a baseline directly predicting annotator ratings from the features and compare it to our model under three different settings assuming: (i) each entry in the multidimensional rating is independent of others, (ii) a joint distribution among rating dimensions exists, (iii) a partial set of ratings to predict the remaining entries is available.

We propose an autonomous exploration algorithm designed for decentralized multi-robot teams, which takes into account map and localization uncertainties of range-sensing mobile robots. Virtual landmarks are used to quantify the combined impact of process noise and sensor noise on map uncertainty. Additionally, we employ an iterative expectation-maximization inspired algorithm to assess the potential outcomes of both a local robot's and its neighbors' next-step actions. To evaluate the effectiveness of our framework, we conduct a comparative analysis with state-of-the-art algorithms. The results of our experiments show the proposed algorithm's capacity to strike a balance between curbing map uncertainty and achieving efficient task allocation among robots.

Recently, a flexible cure rate survival model has been developed by assuming the number of competing causes of the event of interest to follow the Conway-Maxwell-Poisson distribution. This model includes some of the well-known cure rate models discussed in the literature as special cases. Data obtained from cancer clinical trials are often right censored and expectation maximization algorithm can be used in this case to efficiently estimate the model parameters based on right censored data. In this paper, we consider the competing cause scenario and assuming the time-to-event to follow the Weibull distribution, we derive the necessary steps of the expectation maximization algorithm for estimating the parameters of different cure rate survival models. The standard errors of the maximum likelihood estimates are obtained by inverting the observed information matrix. The method of inference developed here is examined by means of an extensive Monte Carlo simulation study. Finally, we illustrate the proposed methodology with a real data on cancer recurrence.

Because of the high maneuverability of targets, track breakages are common in the tracking process. With the purpose of stitching the track segments and achieving better tracking results, we adopt an algorithm to stitch the track segments based on expectationmaximization (EM). The EM algorithm can be used to estimate and identify the maneuvering targets' state and angular velocities simultaneously. It consists of two steps. The expectation (E) step is implemented by an extended Kalman filter (EKF) and extended Rauch-Tung-Striebel smoother (ERTSS). The maximization (M) step is implemented by genetic algorithm, which can achieve the Maximum likelihood sequence estimation for unknown parameters. Experiments show that this algorithm can achieve better tracking results. Moreover, it also exhibits good capability when estimating the unknown parameter.
