An Overview of the New Feature Selection Methods in Finite Mixture of Regression Models
Variable (feature) selection has attracted much attention in contemporary statistical learning and recent scientific research. This is mainly due to the rapid advancement in modern technology that allows scientists to collect data of unprecedented size and complexity. One type of statistical problem in such applications is concerned with modeling an output variable as a function of a sma...
متن کاملModeling Censored Data Using Mixture Regression Models with an Application to Cattle Production Yields
This research develops a mixture regression model that is shown to have advantages over the classical Tobit model in model fit and predictive tests when data are generated from a two step process. Additionally, the model is shown to allow for flexibility in distributional assumptions while nesting the classic Tobit model. A simulated data set is utilized to assess the potential loss in efficien...
متن کاملVariable Selection in Finite Mixture of Regression Models
In the applications of finite mixture of regression (FMR) models, often many covariates are used, and their contributions to the response variable vary from one component to another of the mixture model. This creates a complex variable selection problem. Existing methods, such as the Akaike information criterion and the Bayes information criterion, are computationally expensive as the number of...
متن کاملAdditive models in censored regression
In this paper we consider additive models in censored regression. We propose a randomly weighted version of the backfitting algorithm that allows for the nonparametric estimation of the effects of the covariates on the response. Given the high computational cost involved, binning techniques are used to speed up the computation in the estimation and testing process. Simulation results and the ap...
متن کاملEmpirical Likelihood Estimation of Censored Mixture Models
In this paper, a mixture model is estimated by the empirical likelihood (EL) approach. The functional delta method is implemented to exploit asymptotic properties of the estimator. EL constructs a weighted empirical process that converges to a Gaussian process and its estimator, with additional assumptions, converges a normal distribution with an asymptotic efficient covariance matrix. This app...
