Iterative numerical methods are necessary to find the maximum likelihood estimates for finite mixture distributions. This paper shows that it will often be possible to analytically reduce the number of equations that must ultimately be solved numerically. Such a reduction in dimensionality has not generally been used, or sought after, for mixture distributions. Yet such results are easily derived when each mixture component is assumed to be from the same parametric model within the exponential family. 相似文献

Estimation of a covariance matrix with zeros 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We consider estimation of the covariance matrix of a multivariaterandom vector under the constraint that certain covariancesare zero. We first present an algorithm, which we call iterativeconditional fitting, for computing the maximum likelihood estimateof the constrained covariance matrix, under the assumption ofmultivariate normality. In contrast to previous approaches,this algorithm has guaranteed convergence properties. Droppingthe assumption of multivariate normality, we show how to estimatethe covariance matrix in an empirical likelihood approach. Theseapproaches are then compared via simulation and on an exampleof gene expression. 相似文献

Several different methodologies for parameter estimation under various ascertainment sampling schemes have been proposed in the past. In this article, some of the methodologies that have been proposed for independent sibships under the classical segregation analysis model are synthesized, and the general likelihoods derived for single, multiple and complete ascertainment. The issue of incorporating the sibship size distribution into the analysis is addressed, and the effect of conditioning the likelihood on the observed sibship sizes is discussed. It is shown that when the number of probands in a sibship is not specified, the corresponding likelihood can be used for a broader class of ascertainment schemes than is subsumed by the classical model. 相似文献
