Alternative implementations of Monte Carlo EM algorithms for likelihood inferences

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Two methods of computing Monte Carlo estimators of variance components using restricted maximum likelihood <it>via </it>the expectation-maximisation algorithm are reviewed. A third approach is suggested and the performance of the methods is compared u...
