This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 156.111.111.127 (talk) at 17:48, 25 April 2016 (It needs to be specified that the maximum is a local maximum. ICM does not maximize the joint probability. It finds a local optimum for the model, not a global optimum.).

In statistics, iterated conditional modes is a deterministic algorithm for obtaining a configuration of a local maximum of the joint probability of a Markov random field. It does this by iteratively maximizing the probability of each variable conditioned on the rest.
