Abstract

In this work we propose a novel EM method for the estimation of nonlinear nonparametric mixed-effects models, aimed at unsupervised classification. We perform simulation studies in order to evaluate the algorithm performance and we apply this new procedure to a real dataset. Copyright Springer-Verlag 2013
