Introduction

MILES (Maximum likelihood via Iterative Least squares EStimation) is a very simple principle for fitting maximum likelihood models using simple least squares algorithms. The principle is described in a recent paper and an earlier version is also available here.

These m-files given here provide examples on how to use the MILES principle specifically for PCA and for PARAFAC. Other models can be fitted equally simple by exchanging the model-fitting part with any other least squares algorithm.

If you use the files we would appreciate a reference to the paper in which MILES is developed.
