Regression Analysis (Spring, 2000)
... If the main purpose of modeling is predicting Y only, then don’t worry. (since ESS is left the same) “Don’t worry about multicollinearity if the R-squared from the regression exceeds the R-squared of any independent variable regressed on the other independent variables.” “Don’t worry about it if the ...

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.
