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 کاملHigh Breakdown Multivariate Estimators
In the literature, estimators for regression or multivariate location and dispersion that have been shown to be both consistent and high breakdown are impractical to compute. This paper gives easily computed high breakdown robust √ n consistent estimators, and the applications for these estimators are numerous. For regression, the response plot of the fitted values versus the response is shown ...
متن کاملMultivariate Location Estimators with the Best Possible Finite Sample Breakdown
The sample mean has long been used as an estimator of a location pa rameter in statistical data analysis and inference Though attractive from many viewpoints it su ers from an extreme sensitivity to outliers The median has been adopted as a more robust location estimator in one dimension it will not break down even if up to half of the data points are bad Another desirable property of the media...
متن کاملInformation Covariance Matrices for Multivariate Burr III and Logistic Distributions
Main result of this paper is to derive the exact analytical expressions of information and covariance matrices for multivariate Burr III and logistic distributions. These distributions arise as tractable parametric models in price and income distributions, reliability, economics, Human population, some biological organisms to model agricultural population data and survival data. We showed that ...
متن کاملMultivariate Monotone Location Estimators
A notion of monotonicity of multivariate location estimators is introduced. The relationships between this notion and other existing notions are discussed. Finite sample breakdown point properties of multivariate monotone location estimators are investigated. It turns out that the breakdown points of typical multivariate monotone location estimators are independent of the configuration of under...
