The EM algorithm and the Laplace Approximation
Niko Brümmer
Abstrak
The Laplace approximation calls for the computation of second derivatives at the likelihood maximum. When the maximum is found by the EM-algorithm, there is a convenient way to compute these derivatives. The likelihood gradient can be obtained from the EM-auxiliary, while the Hessian can be obtained from this gradient with the Pearlmutter trick.
