Abstract
Spectral unmixing against a library of known endmembers can be modelled as a linear least squares problem with constraints. We take a different approach: model parameters are mapped through the log-odds transformation into a space where maximum likelihood parameter estimation leads to an unconstrained nonlinear least squares problem. Newton´s method is then proposed for its resolution
