Question: Let ( y 1 i , y 2 i ) , i = 1 , , N , have a bivariate normal distribution with

Let (y1i,y2i),i=1,,N, have a bivariate normal distribution with mean (μ1,μ2) and covariance parameters (σ11,σ12,σ22) and correlation coefficient ρ. Suppose that all N observations on y1 are available but there are m<N missing observations on y2. Using the fact that the marginal distribution of yj is N[μj,σjj], and that conditionally y2y1N[μ2.1,σ22.1], where μ2.1=μ2+ σ12/σ22(y1μ1),σ22.1=(1ρ2)σ22, devise an EM algorithm for imputing the missing observations on y1.
