The observed Fisher information attached to the EM algorithm, illustrated on Shepp and Vardi estimation procedure for positron emission tomography
Abstract
The Shepp & Vardi (1982) implementation of the EM algorithm for PET scan tumor estimation provides a point estimate of the tumor. The current study presents a closed-form formula of the observed Fisher information for Shepp & Vardi PET scan tumor estimation. Keywords: PET scan, EM algorithm, Fisher information matrix, standard errors.
