emMain {sBIC}

EM-algorithm for latent forests.

Description

Uses the EM-algorithm (with multiple random restarts) to compute an approximate maximum likelihood estimate for a given latent forest model.

Usage

emMain(this, model, starts, maxIter, tol)

## S3 method for class 'LatentForests'
emMain(this, model, starts=5, maxIter=1000, tol=1e-4)

Arguments

this

the LatentForests object.

model

the model for which to compute the approximate MLE.

starts

the number of random restarts.

maxIter

the maximum number of iterations to complete in the algorithm.

tol

the tolerance to use a convergence criterion.
