Iterated conditional modes
open-in-new
<p>In <a href="/facts/Statistics/DNPsKGYU">statistics</a>, iterated conditional modes is a <a href="/facts/Deterministic_algorithm/v8x4wz35">deterministic algorithm</a> for obtaining a configuration of a local maximum of the <a href="/facts/Joint_probability/klX2ksGY">joint probability</a> of a <a href="/facts/Markov_random_field/DJazwaeP">Markov random field</a>. It does this by iteratively maximizing the probability of each variable <a href="/facts/Conditional_distribution/0eGm3P9W">conditioned</a> on the rest. </p>
