摘要
En 中文
Since its introduction in 1977, the expectation maximization (EM) algorithm has been one of the most important and widely used estimation method in estimating parameters of distributions in the presence of incomplete information. In this paper, a variant of the EM algorithm, the expectation conditional maximization (ECM) algorithm, is introduced for the first time and it provides a promising alternative in estimating the parameters of nonhomogeneous poisson (NHPP) software reliability growth models (SRGM). This algorithm circumvents the difficult M-step of the EM algorithm by replacing it by a series of conditional maximization steps. The utility of the ECM approach is demonstrated in the estimation of parameters of several well-known models for both time domain and time interval software failure data. Numerical examples with real-data indicate that the ECM algorithm performs well in estimating parameters of NHPP SRGM with complex mean value functions and can produce a faster rate of convergence.
