Expectation Maximization Machine Learning Tools
================================================
The EM algorithm is an iterative method that estimates parameters for a statistical models, where the model depends on unobserved latent variables. The EM iteration alternates between performing an expectation (E) step, which creates a function for the expectation of the log-likelihood evaluated using the current estimate for the parameters, and a maximization (M) step, which computes parameters maximizing the expected log-likelihood found on the E step. These parameter-estimates are then used to determine the distribution of the latent variables in the next E step [WikiEM]_.

The package includes the machine definition per se and a selection of different trainers for specialized purposes:
- Maximum Likelihood (ML)
- Maximum a Posteriori (MAP)
- K-Means
- Inter Session Variability Modelling (ISV)
- Joint Factor Analysis (JFA)
- Total Variability Modeling (iVectors)
- Probabilistic Linear Discriminant Analysis (PLDA)
- EM Principal Component Analysis (EM-PCA)
This package contains a set of Pythonic bindings for Bob's Machines and Trainers.
