statistical computing #1

It is unclear what statistical computing method will be used. This seems to be a regression analysis, with variable selection. An EM algorithm works when there are missing data. What's your missing data?

Assume the cost of either smoke and non-smoke are Normal distribution. The missing data is the E(x) and Variance of the distribution. So we will use EM algorithm to calculate both smoke and non-smoke's distribution and compare the difference.

They are your model parameters. When you take conditional expectation in the E-step, what variables are you taking expectation with respect to? Please add more details and notations if necessary. I'd appreciate an explanation.

We add our ideas in files called"final project, pdf - starting plan".
