Mixtures of location-shifted symmetric distributions
This paper considers a nonparametric approach to fitting mixture distributions that assumes only that the components are symmetric and come from the same location family. Unlike some other nonparametric treatments of mixtures in the literature, our approach assumes univariate rather than multivariate observations. We discuss sufficient conditions for the identifiability of these mixture models,...
متن کاملClassification and properties of acyclic discrete phase-type distributions based on geometric and shifted geometric distributions
Acyclic phase-type distributions form a versatile model, serving as approximations to many probability distributions in various circumstances. They exhibit special properties and characteristics that usually make their applications attractive. Compared to acyclic continuous phase-type (ACPH) distributions, acyclic discrete phase-type (ADPH) distributions and their subclasses (ADPH family) have ...
متن کاملLearning Mixtures of Distributions
Learning Mixtures of Distributions by Kamalika Chaudhuri Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Satish Rao, Chair This thesis studies the problem of learning mixtures of distributions, a natural formalization of clustering. A mixture of distributions is a collection of distributions D = {D1, . . .DT}, and mixing weights, {w1, . . . , wT} such that ...
متن کاملBayesian Mixtures of Bernoulli Distributions
The mixture of Bernoulli distributions [6] is a technique that is frequently used for the modeling of binary random vectors. They differ from (restricted) Boltzmann Machines in that they do not model the marginal distribution over the binary data space X as a product of (conditional) Bernoulli distributions, but as a weighted sum of Bernoulli distributions. Despite the non-identifiability of th...
متن کاملAsymmetric Distributions from Constrained Mixtures
This paper introduces constrained mixtures for continuous distributions, characterized by a mixture of distributions where each distribution has a shape similar to the base distribution and disjoint domains. This new concept is used to create generalized asymmetric versions of the Laplace and normal distributions, which are shown to define exponential families, with known conjugate priors, and ...
