How does expectation maximization relate to weighted least squares?
While applying EM on a mixture of Gaussian (like your case), part of the steps do coincide with weighted least squares.
E step: Taking expectation w.r.t. $C$ on the loglikelihood results in a "...

Why use the EM Algorithm and not just marginalise the complete likelihood?
This is a few years old but I don't believe the current answer really covers it.
What the question boils down is whether $\mathbb{E}_{p(z\mid x;\theta')}[\log p(x, z\,;\, \theta')]$ (in EM lower-bound)...

EM algorithm for mixture with latent regression?
Cluster-weighted modelling may be what you want. Not sure whether this is exactly what you have in mind, but it's a mixture of regressions with covariate-dependent weights.
