Abstract: To solve the slow convergence problems of Phase-type(PH) distribution data fitting EM algorithm, this paper presents a numerical acceleration EM algorithm. The algorithm achieves the purpose of acceleration by increasing the parameters change of every EM iterative. To illustrate the effectiveness of the acceleration fitting method, the method is compared with the standard EM algorithm by using four benchmark examples. Comparison results show that the acceleration EM algorithm is simple and practical, it can guarantee the convergence of the algorithm, and effectively raise the convergence speed of the fitting algorithm.
