Identifying Mixtures of Mixtures Using Bayesian Estimation
The use of a finite mixture of normal distributions in model-based clustering allows us to capture non-Gaussian data clusters. However, identifying the clusters from the normal components is challenging and in general either achieved by imposing constraints on the model or by using post-processing procedures. Within the Bayesian framework, we propose a different approach based on sparse finite ...

متن کاملPractical Bayesian inference using mixtures of mixtures.
Discrete mixtures of normal distributions are widely used in modeling amplitude fluctuations of electrical potentials at synapses of human and other animal nervous systems. The usual framework has independent data values yj arising as yj = mu j + xn0 + j, where the means mu j come from some discrete prior G(mu) and the unknown xno + j's and observed xj, j = 1,...,n0, are Gaussian noise terms. A...
متن کاملBayesian estimation of dynamic finite mixtures
The paper introduces an algorithm for estimation of dynamic mixture models. A new feature of the proposed algorithm is the ability to consider a dynamic form not only for component models but also for the pointer model, which describes the activities of the mixture components in time. The pointer model is represented by a table of transition probabilities that stochastically control the switchi...
متن کاملPractical Bayesian Density Estimation Using Mixtures of Normals
Mixtures of normals provide a exible model for estimating densities in a Bayesian framework. But there are some diiculties with this model. First, standard reference priors yield improper posteriors; second, the posterior for the number of components in the mixture is not well deened (if the reference prior is used) and third, posterior simulation does not provide a direct estimate of the poste...
