Description
Summary:This paper provides a flexible methodology for the class of finite mixture of regressions with scale mixture of skew-normal errors (SMSN-FMRM) introduced by [42], relaxing the constraints imposed by the authors during the estimation process. Based on the data augmentation principle and Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms, a Bayesian inference procedure is developed. A simulation study is implemented in order to understand the possible effects caused by the restrictions and an example with a well known dataset illustrates the performance of the proposed methods.
