One of the most powerful algorithms for maximum likelihood estimation for many incomplete-data problems is the EM algorithm. The restricted EM algorithm for maximum likelihood estimation under linear restrictions on the parameters has been handled by Kim and Taylor (J. Amer. Statist. Assoc. 430 (1995) 708-716). This paper proposes an EM algorithm for maximum likelihood estimation under inequality restrictions A(0beta)greater than or equal to0, where beta is the parameter vector in a linear model W = Xbeta + epsilon and epsilon is an error variable distributed normally with mean zero and a known or unknown variance matrix Sigma > 0. Some convergence properties of the ENT sequence are discussed. Furthermore, we consider the consistency of the restricted EM estimator and a related testing problem. (C) 2003 Elsevier Inc.
