Abstract:
I comment here on a recent paper in this journal, on the fitting of truncated normal distributions by the EM algorithm. I show that the fitting of such distributions by direct numerical maximization of likelihood (rather than EM) is straightforward, contrary to an assertion made by the authors of that paper.
