Robust Estimation of Mixture Complexity
混合模型复杂度的稳健估计
In many applications, it is important to find the mixture with fewest number of components, known as the mixture complexity, that provides a satisfactory fit to the data. This article focuses on developing an estimator of mixture complexity that is consistent when the form of component densities are unknown but are postulated to be members of some parametric family and is simultaneously robust against model misspecification. We treat the estimation of mixture complexity as a…
