Difficulty of Maximum Likelihood Estimation with Latent Variables
If we have complete data , it is easy to maximize the likelihood . Unfortunately, with incomplete data ( only), we must marginalize over the latent variables , so:
The parameters inside the logarithm make it difficult to compute the maximum likelihood directly.
