Growth mixture modeling with non-normal distributions.
A limiting feature of previous work on growth mixture modeling is the assumption of normally distributed variables within each latent class. With strongly non-normal outcomes, this means that several latent classes are required to capture the observed variable distributions. Being able to relax the assumption of within-class normality has the advantage that a non-normal observed distribution do...
متن کاملMixture of Normal Mean-Variance of Lindley Distributions
‎Abstract: In this paper, a new mixture modelling using the normal mean-variance mixture of Lindley (NMVL) distribution has been considered. The proposed model is heavy-tailed and multimodal and can be used in dealing with asymmetric data in various theoretic and applied problems. We present a feasible computationally analytical EM algorithm for computing the maximum likelihood estimates. T...
متن کاملStatistical Wavelet-based Image Denoising using Scale Mixture of Normal Distributions with Adaptive Parameter Estimation
Removing noise from images is a challenging problem in digital image processing. This paper presents an image denoising method based on a maximum a posteriori (MAP) density function estimator, which is implemented in the wavelet domain because of its energy compaction property. The performance of the MAP estimator depends on the proposed model for noise-free wavelet coefficients. Thus in the wa...
