Stochastic comparisons of multivariate mixture models
In this paper we consider sufficient conditions in order to stochastically compare random vectors of multivariate mixture models. In particular we consider stochastic and convex orders, the likelihood ratio order, and the hazard rate and mean residual life dynamic orders. Applications to proportional hazard models and mixture models in risk theory are also given. AMS Subject Classification: 60E...
متن کاملStochastic approximation learning for mixtures of multivariate elliptical distributions
Most of current approaches to mixture modeling consider mixture components from a few families of probability distributions, in particular from the Gaussian family. The reasons of these preferences can be traced to their training algorithms, typically versions of the Expectation-Maximization (EM) method. The reestimation equations needed by this method become very complex as the mixture compone...
متن کاملMultivariate normative comparisons.
In neuropsychological evaluations and single case research generally a number of tests are administered, since the interest is not in a single, but in multiple characteristics of a patient. The typical problem is to decide whether or not a patient is different from normal controls with respect to one or more of these characteristics. Consideration of each characteristic separately entails an in...
متن کاملMultivariate Kernel Partition Process Mixtures.
Mixtures provide a useful approach for relaxing parametric assumptions. Discrete mixture models induce clusters, typically with the same cluster allocation for each parameter in multivariate cases. As a more flexible approach that facilitates sparse nonparametric modeling of multivariate random effects distributions, this article proposes a kernel partition process (KPP) in which the cluster al...
متن کاملInference for multivariate normal mixtures
Multivariate normal mixtures provide a flexible model for high-dimensional data. They are widely used in statistical genetics, statistical finance, and other disciplines. Due to the unboundedness of the likelihood function, classical likelihoodbased methods, which may have nice practical properties, are inconsistent. In this paper, we recommend a penalized likelihood method for estimating the m...
