== What is an Expectaion-Maximization Classifier ==
According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expectation-maximization_algorithm wikipedia],

: ''An expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm is used in statistics for finding maximum likelihood estimates of parameters in probabilistic models, where the model depends on unobserved latent variables. EM is an iterative method which alternates between performing an expectation (E) step, which computes an expectation of the log likelihood with respect to the current estimate of the distribution for the latent variables, and a maximization (M) step, which computes the parameters which maximize the expected log likelihood found on the E step. These parameters are then used to determine the distribution of the latent variables in the next E step. ''
