Mixture models are a powerful tool for analyzing complex and heterogeneous datasets across many scientific fields, from finance to genomics. Mixture Models: Parametric, Semiparametric, and New Directions provides an up-to-date introduction to these models, their recent developments, and their implementation using R. It fills a gap in the literature by covering not only the basics of finite mixture models, but also recent developments such as semiparametric extensions, robust modeling, label switching, and high-dimensional modeling.
Features
- Comprehensive overview of the methods and applications of mixture models
- Key topics include hypothesis testing, model selection, estimation methods, and Bayesian approaches
- Recent developments, such as semiparametric extensions, robust modeling, label switching, and high-dimensional modeling
- Examples and case studies from such fields as astronomy, biology, genomics, economics, finance, medicine, engineering, and sociology
