Maximum trimmed likelihood estimator for multivariate mixed continuous and categorical data
Abstract In this article we apply the maximum trimmed likelihood (MTL) approach (Hadi and Luceño 1997) to obtain the robust estimators of multivariate location and shape, especially for data mixed with continuous and categorical variables. The forward search algorithm (Atkinson 1994) is adapted to compute the proposed MTL estimates. A simulation study shows that the proposed estimator outperfor...
متن کاملLocal Maximum Likelihood Techniques with Categorical Data
In this paper we provide asymptotic theory of local maximum likelihood techniques for estimating a regression model where some regressors are discrete. Our methodology and theory are particularly useful for models that give us a likelihood of the unknown functions we can use to identify and estimate the underlying model. This is the case when the conditional density of the variable of interest,...
متن کاملLecture 22: Maximum Likelihood Estimator
In the first part of this lecture, we will deal with the consistency and asymptotic distribution of maximum likelihood estimator. The second part of the lecture focuses on signal estimation/tracking. An estimator is said to be consistent if it converges to the quantity being estimated. This section speaks about the consistency of MLE and conditions under which MLE is consistent.
متن کاملMaximum likelihood estimator for magneto-acoustic localisation
This paper is devoted to the localization of magnetoacoustic sources moving in a straight line at a constant speed. Our technique is based on the association of narrow band acoustic signals and magnetostatic measurements. First of all, we describe features that make possible the association of magnetic and acoustic data, secondly, we show that positioning accuracy is much improved by this assoc...
متن کاملRobust fitting of mixtures using the trimmed likelihood estimator
The Maximum Likelihood Estimator (MLE) has commonly been used to estimate the unknown parameters in the finite mixture of distributions via the expectationmaximization (EM) algorithm. However, the MLE can be very sensitive to outliers in the data. Various approaches that have incorporated robustness in fitting mixtures and clustering are discussed. Special attention is given to the Weighted Tri...
