Alternatives to the EM algorithm for ML estimation of location, scatter matrix, and degree of freedom of the Student t distribution

In this paper, we consider maximum likelihood estimations of the degree of freedom parameter ν , the location parameter μ and the scatter matrix Σ of the multivariate Student t distribution. In particular, we are interested in estimating the degree of freedom parameter ν that determines the tails of...
