Minimum Hellinger Distance Estimation for Finite Mixture Models
有限混合模型的最小 Hellinger 距离估计
Minimum Hellinger distance estimates are considered for finite mixture models when the exact forms of the component densities are unknown in detail but are thought to be close to members of some parametric family. Minimum Hellinger distance estimates are asymptotically efficient if the data come from a member of the parametric family and are robust to certain departures from the parametric family. A new algorithm is introduced that is similar to the EM algorithm a…
