Robust fitting of mixture regression models
The existing methods for fitting mixture regression models assume a normal distribution for error and then estimate the regression parameters by the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE). In this article, we demonstrate that the MLE, like the least squares estimate, is sensitive to outliers and heavy-tailed error distributions. We propose a robust estimation procedure and an EM-type algorithm to es...
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 کاملRobust Mixture Regression Models Using T - Distribution
In this report, we propose a robust mixture of regression based on t-distribution by extending the mixture of t-distributions proposed by Peel and McLachlan (2000) to the regression setting. This new mixture of regression model is robust to outliers in y direction but not robust to the outliers with high leverage points. In order to combat this, we also propose a modified version of the propose...
متن کاملOn Fitting Mixture Models
Consider the problem of tting a nite Gaussian mixture, with an unknown number of components, to observed data. This paper proposes a new minimum description length (MDL) type criterion, termed MMDL (formixtureMDL), to select the number of components of the model. MMDL is based on the identi cation of an \equivalent sample size", for each component, which does not coincide with the full sample s...
متن کاملRobust variable selection for mixture linear regression models
In this paper, we propose a robust variable selection to estimate and select relevant covariates for the finite mixture of linear regression models by assuming that the error terms follow a Laplace distribution to the data after trimming the high leverage points. We introduce a revised Expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm for numerical computation. Simulation studies indicate that the propos...
