A Note on the Aitkin-Rubin Approach to Hypothesis Testing in Mixture Models
关于混合模型假设检验中 Aitkin–Rubin 方法的札记
SUMMARY In testing for the number of components in a mixture, it is well known that regularity conditions do not hold for minus twice the log likelihood ratio to have its usual asymptotic null distribution of chi-squared. In an attempt to overcome some of the problems, it has been proposed in the literature that a prior distribution be placed on the mixing proportions. We show here that the usual regularity conditions still do not hold.
