Skew Laplace Finite Mixture Modelling
‎This paper presents a new mixture model via considering the univariate skew Laplace distribution‎. ‎The new model can handle both heavy tails and skewness and is multimodal‎. ‎Describing some properties of the proposed model‎, ‎we present a feasible EM algorithm for iteratively‎ ‎computing maximum likelihood estimates‎. ‎We also derive the observ...
متن کاملPCR in forensic genetics.
Since the introduction in the mid-1980s of analyses of minisatellites for DNA analyses, a revolution has taken place in forensic genetics. The subsequent invention of the PCR made it possible to develop forensic genetics tools that allow both very informative routine investigations and still more and more advanced, special investigations in cases concerning crime, paternity, relationship, disas...
متن کاملRobust mixture regression model fitting by Laplace distribution
A robust estimation procedure for mixture linear regression models is proposed by assuming that the error terms follow a Laplace distribution. The estimation procedure is implemented by an EM algorithm based on the fact that the Laplace distribution is a scale mixture of a normal distribution. Finite sample performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated by numerical simulation studies. The ...
متن کاملA Laplace ladder of discrete Laplace equations
The notion of a Laplace ladder for a discrete analogue of the Laplace equation is presented. The adjoint of the discrete Moutard equation and a discrete counterpart of the nonlinear form of Goursat equation are introduced. 1 Notation Value of functions of continuous variables we denote by f(u, v) i.e. f : R ∋ (u, v) 7→ f(u, v) ∈ R while functions of discrete variables by f(m1, m2) i.e. f : Z 2 ...
متن کاملBayesian speaker recognition using Gaussian mixture model and laplace approximation
This paper presents a Bayesian approach for Gaussian mixture model (GMM)-based speaker identification. Some approaches evaluate the speaker score of a test speech utterance using a single data likelihood over the GMM learned by point estimation methods according to the maximum likelihood or maximum a posteriori criteria. In contrast, the Bayesian approach evaluates the score by using the expect...
