Robust Mixture Modeling Based on Two-Piece Scale Mixtures of Normal Family

In this paper, we examine the finite mixture (FM) model with a flexible class of two-piece distributions based on the scale mixtures of normal (TP-SMN) family components. This family allows the development of a robust estimation of FM models. The TP-SMN is a rich class of distributions that covers s...
