A topological transformation in evolutionary tree search methods based on maximum likelihood combining p-ECR and neighbor joinin
Background: Inference of evolutionary trees using the maximum likelihood principle is NP-hard. Therefore, all practical methods rely on heuristics. The topological transformations...

From maximum likelihood to iterative decoding
Iterative decoding is considered in this paper from an optimization point of view. Starting from the optimal maximum likelihood decoding, a (tractable) approximate criterion is de...

Iterative Conditional Fitting for Gaussian Ancestral Graph Models
Ancestral graph models, introduced by Richardson and Spirtes (2002), generalize both Markov random fields and Bayesian networks to a class of graphs with a global Markov property ...

Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Intrinsic Dimension
We propose a new method for estimating intrinsic dimension of a dataset derived by applying the principle of maximum likelihood to the distances between close neighbors. We derive...

Maximum Likelihood Bounded Tree-Width Markov Networks
We study the problem of projecting a distribution onto (or finding a maximum likelihood distribution among) Markov networks of bounded tree-width. By casting it as the combinatori...
