A comparison of iterative methods for obtaining maximum likelihood estimates in contingency tables with a missing diagonal

SUMMARY This paper considers maximum likelihood estimation for the parameters of quasiindependence in a contingency table with a missing or excluded diagonal. Two of the methods discussed derive from the EM algorithm of Dempster, Laird & Rubin (1977), the other two methods being Newton-Raphson and iterative scaling. Iterative scaling is found, empirically, to be the least efficient method.
