Testing for a Finite Mixture Model with Two Components
We consider a finite mixture model with k components and a kernel distribution from a general parametric family. We consider the problem of testing the hypothesis k = 2 against k ≥ 3. In this problem, the likelihood ratio test has a very complicated large sample theory and is difficult to use in practice. We propose a test based on the likelihood ratio statistic where the estimates of the param...
متن کاملFinite Mixture Models with Negative Components
Mixture models, especially mixtures of Gaussian, have been widely used due to their great flexibility and power. Non-Gaussian clusters can be approximated by several Gaussian components, however, it can not always acquire appropriate results. By cancelling the nonnegative constraint to mixture coefficients and introducing a new concept of “negative components”, we extend the traditional mixture...
متن کاملDetermination of the number of components in finite mixture distribution with Skew-t-Normal components
Abstract One of the main goal in the mixture distributions is to determine the number of components. There are different methods for determination the number of components, for example, Greedy-EM algorithm which is based on adding a new component to the model until satisfied the best number of components. The second method is based on maximum entropy and finally the third method is based on non...
متن کاملExplaining Heterogeneity in Risk Preferences Using a Finite Mixture Model
This paper studies the effect of the space (distance) between lotteries' outcomes on risk-taking behavior and the shape of estimated utility and probability weighting functions. Previously investigated experimental data shows a significant space effect in the gain domain. As compared to low spaced lotteries, high spaced lotteries are associated with higher risk aversion for high probabilities o...
