Background:

  • Real-world data often contains imperfections and missing values.
  • Accurate parameter estimation for probability density functions is crucial for data analysis.
  • Unsupervised learning methods are needed to handle data without explicit labels.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an unsupervised method for learning probability density function parameters from incomplete data.
  • To evaluate the reliability and convergence of the Expectation-Maximization algorithm in this context.
  • To determine the impact of increasing percentages of missing data on parameter estimation accuracy.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm for iterative estimation.
