Non-finite Fisher information and homogeneity: an EM approach

P Li, J Chen, P Marriott - Biometrika, 2009 - academic.oup.com
Even simple examples of finite mixture models can fail to fulfil the regularity conditions that
are routinely assumed in standard parametric inference problems. Many methods have …

On the contaminated exponential distribution: A theoretical Bayesian approach for modeling positive-valued insurance claim data with outliers

K Okhli, MJ Nooghabi - Applied Mathematics and Computation, 2021 - Elsevier
Abstract Analysis of the insurance data has recently been achieved considerable attention
for insurance industries. This paper introduces the contaminated exponential (CE) …

Local mixture models of exponential families

K Anaya-Izquierdo, P Marriott - Bernoulli, 2007 - JSTOR
Exponential families are the workhorses of parametric modelling theory. One reason for their
popularity is their associated inference theory, which is very clean, both from a theoretical …

On -mixtures: Finite convex combinations of prescribed component distributions

F Nielsen, R Nock - arXiv preprint arXiv:1708.00568, 2017 - arxiv.org
We consider the space of $ w $-mixtures which is defined as the set of finite statistical
mixtures sharing the same prescribed component distributions closed under convex …

On the three-component mixture of exponential distributions: A Bayesian framework to model data with multiple lower and upper outliers

K Okhli, MJ Nooghabi - Mathematics and computers in simulation, 2023 - Elsevier
The presence of lower and upper outliers in the dataset may cause misleading inferential
conclusions in the applied statistical problems. This paper introduces the three-component …

Moment ideals of local Dirac mixtures

A Grosdos Koutsoumpelias, M Wageringel - SIAM Journal on Applied Algebra …, 2020 - SIAM
In this paper we study ideals arising from moments of local Dirac measures and their
mixtures. We provide generators for the case of first order local Diracs and explain how to …

Hypothesis testing in finite mixture models

P Li - 2007 - uwspace.uwaterloo.ca
Mixture models provide a natural framework for unobserved heterogeneity in a population.
They are widely applied in astronomy, biology, engineering, finance, genetics, medicine …

Renewal sums under mixtures of exponentials

Z Zhang - Applied Mathematics and Computation, 2018 - Elsevier
We start with applying two methods to derive formulas of a mixture of exponential process,
ie, a renewal process whose inter-arrival time follows a mixture of exponentials. Further …

[PDF][PDF] Algebraic Methods for the Estimation of Statistical Distributions

A Grosdos - 2020 - repositorium.ub.uni-osnabrueck.de
One of the main themes in the field of algebraic statistics is the application of algebraic tools
to statistics. More concretely, methods from combinatorial and computational algebra and …
