M.step: The M-step of teh EM algorithm

Description Usage Arguments

Description

This function performs teh M-step of the EM algorithm. In the M-step we run chow-liu to get a new update of the tree and the big correlation matrix. The problem is that the tree does not always make sense so we need to replace it with a binary tree whose leaves correspond exactly to observed nodes. Luckily such a tree, giving exactly the same observed likelihood, always exists.

Usage

1
M.step(S)

Arguments

S

covariance matrix over the whole vector (both observed and hidden variables)
