stable estimates. Furthermore, convergence can be exceedingly slow, making estimation computationally expensive and multiple … random restarts doubly so. We derive an expectation maximization algorithm for maximum likelihood estimation mutually … exciting processes that is faster, more robust, and less biased than estimation based on numerical optimization. For an …
