Nonparametric Estimation of Finite-mixture Models
The aim of this paper is to provide simple nonparametric methods to estimate finite-mixture models from data with repeated measurements. Three measurements suffice for the mixtures to be fully identified and so our approach can be used even with very short panel data. We provide distribution theory for estimators of the number of mixture components, the mixing proportions, as well as of the mix...
متن کاملNonparametric estimation of multivariate elliptic densities via finite mixture sieves
This paper considers the class of p-dimensional elliptic distributions (p ≥ 1) satisfying the consistency property (Kano, 1994) and within this general framework presents a two-stage semiparametric estimator for the Lebesgue density based on Gaussian mixture sieves. Under the on-line Exponentiated Gradient (EG) algorithm of Helmbold et al. (1997) and without restricting the mixing measure to ha...
متن کاملNonparametric mixture models with conditionally independent multivariate component densities
Models and algorithms for nonparametric estimation of finite multivariate mixtures have been recently proposed, where it is usually assumed that coordinates are independent conditional on the subpopulation from which each observation is drawn. Hence in these models the dependence structure comes only from the mixture. This assumption is relaxed, allowing for independent multivariate blocks of c...
متن کاملFully Nonparametric Probability Density Function Estimation with Finite Gaussian Mixture Models
Flexible and reliable probability density estimation is fundamental in unsupervised learning and classification. Finite Gaussian mixture models are commonly used to serve this purpose. However, they fail to estimate unknown probability density functions when used for nonparametric probability density estimation, as severe numerical difficulties may occur when the number of components increases....
متن کاملTransformation-based nonparametric estimation of multivariate densities
We propose a probability-integral-transformation-based estimator of multivariate densities. We first transform multivariate data into their corresponding marginal distributions. The marginal densities and the joint density of the transformed data are estimated nonparametrically. The density of the original data is constructed as the product of the density of transformed data and that of the mar...
