In a variety of problems involving models from genetics, latent-class analysis, and missing data, I apply a log-linear model to an indirectly observed frequency table. Current algorithms for ...

Maximum likelihood algorithms are described for generalized linear mixed models. I show how to construct a Monte Carlo version of the EM algorithm, propose a Monte Carlo Newton-Raphson algorithm, and ...

Crystal oscillators are notoriously difficult to simulate accurately. The nature of the Newton-Raphson algorithm, which all Spice-like simulators (HSpice, PSpice, Spectre, and Eldo) use, is difficult ...

Newton method, invented by physicist Isaac Newton about 300 years ago, is an algorithm that still plays an important role in a wide range of fields, including logistics, financial engineering, ...
