... the probability under a given type r. Instead of optimizing over that nonlinear model, we compute the probability under each type as if it were the true parameter, and then find the proper mixture of those models that best approximates the actual data. In the paper, we demonstrate that the θr parame ...

Expectation–maximization algorithm
In statistics, an expectation–maximization (EM) algorithm is an iterative method for finding maximum likelihood or maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimates of parameters in statistical models, where the model depends on unobserved latent variables. The EM iteration alternates between performing an expectation (E) step, which creates a function for the expectation of the log-likelihood evaluated using the current estimate for the parameters, and a maximization (M) step, which computes parameters maximizing the expected log-likelihood found on the E step. These parameter-estimates are then used to determine the distribution of the latent variables in the next E step.
