Presents an application of the EM-algorithm to two problems of estimation and testing in a multivariate normal distribution with missing data. The two models are tested applying the log-likelihood ratio test. Solves the problem of different and nonmonotone patterns of missing data by introducing suitable transformations and partitions of the data…
