Estimating the Parameters of Mixtures of Binomial Distributions
二项分布混合模型的参数估计
Let Y 1, ···, Y m be independent, each having distribution where 0 < p 1 < ··· < p r < 1, 0 < α j , < 1, Σα j = 1, and n ≧ 2r − 1. This distribution is a mixture of r binomials. It is shown to be an identifiable mixture under the given restrictions on the parameters. Moment estimators for the 2r − 1 parameters p 1, ···, P r , α1, ···, α r − 1 are constructed and the covariance matrix of the joint asymptotic normal distribution of the estimators is obtained. It is found by…
