Extract

Louis (1982) presents a method for computing the observed information matrix and standard errors of maximum likelihood estimates obtained via the EM algorithm based on the complete-data log likelihood function. The problem illustrates the well-known method of Louis (1982) for a widely used qualitative response model in econometrics. The observed-data log likelihood function for the following model can, of course, be easily differentiated to obtain the observed information matrix; our objective is to illustrate the method and not to recommend its use for this model.
