Residual Diagnostics for Mixture Models
混合模型的残差诊断
A sample is commonly modeled by a mixture distribution if the observations follow a common distribution, but the parameter of interest differs between observations. For example, we observe the lengths but not the ages of a sample offish. It may be reasonable to assume that length is normally distributed about an unknown mean that depends on the age of the fish. Provided there is more than one age class in the sample, then the data are distributed as a mixture of normals. In…
