Consistency of the MLE under mixture models
The large-sample properties of likelihood-based statistical inference under mixture models have received much attention from statisticians. Although the consistency of the nonparametric MLE is regarded as a standard conclusion, many researchers ignore the precise conditions required on the mixture model. An incorrect claim of consistency can lead to false conclusions even if the mixture model u...
متن کاملConsistency of the Semi-Parametric MLE under the Piecewise Proportional Hazards Models with Interval-Censored Data
For a random variable Y, denote its survival function by ( ) ( ) = SY t P Y t > , its density function by ( ) fY t , and its hazard function by ( ) ( ( ) ) Y fY t h t SY t = − . Given a covariate (vector) Z which does not depend on time Y,(Z,Y) follows a time-independent covariate PH (TIPH) model or Cox’s regression model if the conditional hazard function of | Y Z is ( ) ( ) | ( ) | | , Z Y z ...
متن کاملFast Learning of Gamma Mixture Models with k-MLE
We introduce a novel algorithm to learn mixtures of Gamma distributions. This is an extension of the k-Maximum Likelihood estimator algorithm for mixtures of exponential families. Although Gamma distributions are exponential families, we cannot rely directly on the exponential families tools due to the lack of closed-form formula and the cost of numerical approximation: our method uses Gamma di...
متن کاملCONSISTENCY OF PENALIZED MLE FOR NORMAL MIXTURES IN MEAN AND VARIANCE Running Title: Consistency of Estimates in Normal Mixture By
The finite mixture of normal distributions in both mean and variance parameters have wide applications. It is well known that the likelihood function of this model is unbounded for any given sample size. Hence, the ordinary maximum likelihood estimator is not consistent. At the same time, a local maximum of the likelihood function can often be found to have good statistical properties. In this ...
متن کاملModel Selection in Gaussian Graphical Models: High-Dimensional Consistency of \boldmath$\ell_1$-regularized MLE
We consider the problem of estimating the graph structure associated with a Gaussian Markov random field (GMRF) from i.i.d. samples. We study the performance of study the performance of the l1-regularized maximum likelihood estimator in the high-dimensional setting, where the number of nodes in the graph p, the number of edges in the graph s and the maximum node degree d, are allowed to grow as...
