Description
Summary:碩士 === 東海大學 === 統計學系 === 95 === A finite mixture model using the multivariate t distribution has been well recognized as a robust extension of Gaussian mixtures. This paper presents an efficient PX-EM algorithm for supervised learning of multivariate t mixture models in the presence of missing values. To simplify the development of new theoretic results and facilitate the implementation of the PX-EM algorithm, two auxiliary indicator matrices are incorporated into the model and shown to be effective. The proposed methodology is a generalized approach for robust mixture models that allow analysts to handle real-world multivariate data sets with complex missing patterns. The performance of computational aspects is investigated through a simulation study and the procedure is also applied to the analysis of real data with varying proportions of artificially missing values.
