Breakdown Points for Maximum Likelihood Estimators of Location–scale Mixtures
ML-estimation based on mixtures of Normal distributions is a widely used tool for cluster analysis. However, a single outlier can make the parameter estimation of at least one of the mixture components break down. Among others, the estimation of mixtures of t-distributions by McLachlan and Peel [Finite Mixture Models (2000) Wiley, New York] and the addition of a further mixture component accoun...

متن کاملOn the Maximum Likelihood Estimators for some Generalized Pareto-like Frequency Distribution
Abstract. In this paper we consider some four-parametric, so-called Generalized Pareto-like Frequency Distribution, which have been constructed using stochastic Birth-Death Process in order to model phenomena arising in Bioinformatics (Astola and Danielian, 2007). As examples, two ”real data” sets on the number of proteins and number of residues for analyzing such distribution are given. The co...
متن کاملBreakdown points of Cauchy regression-scale estimators
The lower bounds for the explosion and implosion breakdown points of the simultaneous Cauchy M-estimator (Cauchy MLE) of the regression and scale parameters are derived. For appropriate tuning constants, the breakdown point attains the maximum possible value.
متن کاملExact Maximum Likelihood Estimation for Word Mixtures
The mixture model for generating document is a generative language model used in information retrieval. While using this model, there are situations that we need to find the maximum likelihood estimation of the density of one multinomial, given fixed mixture weight and the densities of the other multinomial. In this paper, we provide an exact solution and a quick algorithm to solve this problem...
