In the M-step, w {ik} takes on a particular value [computed by the E-step]; if w {ik} were a function of Theta, the maximization problem in the M-step would become a lot more complicated [and almost destroy the very purpose of the EM]. New page entitled Materials added to web site. MZ's slides January 9. Also ar...
