Using Bootstrap Likelihood Ratios in Finite Mixture Models
有限混合模型中的自助法似然比推断
SUMMARY Statistical inference using the likelihood ratio statistic for the number of components in a mixture model is complicated when the true number of components is less than that of the proposed model since this represents a non-regular problem: the true parameter is on the boundary of the parameter space and in some cases the true parameter is in a nonidentifiable subset of the parameter space. The maximum likelihood estimator is shown to converge to the subset…
