n-Stage Splitting For Maximum Penalized Likelihood Estimation

Geoff A. Latham and S. Yu

Abstract: An n-stage splitting algorithm for the solution of maximum penalized likelihood estimation (MPLE) problems is compared to the one-step-late (OSL) algorithm. General conditions under which the asymptotic rate of convergence of this splitting algorithm exceeds that of the OSL algorithm are given. A one-dimensional positive data example illustrates the comparison of the rates of convergence of these two algorithms.
