Skew Laplace Finite Mixture Modelling
‎This paper presents a new mixture model via considering the univariate skew Laplace distribution‎. ‎The new model can handle both heavy tails and skewness and is multimodal‎. ‎Describing some properties of the proposed model‎, ‎we present a feasible EM algorithm for iteratively‎ ‎computing maximum likelihood estimates‎. ‎We also derive the observ...
متن کاملAsymmetric Univariate and Bivariate Laplace and Generalized Laplace Distributions
Alternative specifications of univariate asymmetric Laplace models are described and investigated. A more general mixture model is then introduced. Bivariate extensions of these models are discussed in some detail, with particular emphasis on associated parameter estimation strategies. Multivariate versions of the models are briefly introduced.
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 کاملThe STIRPAT Analysis on Carbon Emission in Chinese Cities: An Asymmetric Laplace Distribution Mixture Model
In cities’ policy-making, it is a hot issue to grasp the determinants of carbon dioxide emission in Chinese cities. And the common method is to use the STIRPAT model, where its coefficients represent the influence intensity of each determinants of carbon emission. However, less work discusses estimation accuracy, especially in the framework of non-normal distribution and heterogeneity among cit...
متن کاملLikelihood and Quadratic Distance Methods for the Generalized Asymmetric Laplace Distribution for Financial Data
Maximum likelihood (ML) estimation for the generalized asymmetric Laplace (GAL) distribution also known as Variance gamma using simplex direct search algorithms is investigated. In this paper, we use numerical direct search techniques for maximizing the log-likelihood to obtain ML estimators instead of using the traditional EM algorithm. The density function of the GAL is only continuous but no...
