[R] EM Algorithm in R

[Prof Brian Ripley]

The EM algorithm is not an algorithm for solving problems, rather an 
algorithm for creating statistical methods. So you need to look for a 
package to solve the specific problem you want to solve.

In some engineering literature the term is used for its application to 
finite mixtures of distributions -- there are plenty of packages on CRAN 
to do that.
