Energy traces for two runs of both the deterministic EM algorithm (blue) and MITSU (red) on a synthetic dataset containing a perfectly conserved motif of width 8 bp. Algorithm convergence is marked with ‘×’ in both cases. We note that the sEM algorithm allows MITSU to escape local maxima of the likelihood function, which can trap deterministic EM (top)
