The proposed mixtures of regression models for contaminated incomplete heterogeneous data provide robust estimates of regression coefficients varying across latent subgroups even under the presence of missing values.
Modelling Background Noise in Finite Mixtures of Generalized Linear Regression Models
- Mathematics
- 2008
In this paper we show how only a few outliers can completely break down EM-estimation of mixtures of regression models. A simple, yet very effective way of dealing with this problem, is to use a…
Robust fitting of mixtures of GLMs by weighted likelihood
- Computer ScienceAdvances in statistical analysis : AStA : a journal of the German Statistical Society
- 2021
A robust fitting strategy is proposed that is based on the weighted likelihood methodology and exhibits a satisfactory behavior in terms of both fitting and classification accuracy, as confirmed by some numerical studies and real data examples.
Gaussian Parsimonious Clustering Models with Covariates
- Computer Science
- 2017
This paper addresses the equivalent aims of including covariates in Gaussian Parsimonious Clustering Models and incorporating parsimonious covariance structures into the Gaussian mixture of experts framework.
BayesBinMix: an R Package for Model Based Clustering of Multivariate Binary Data
- Computer ScienceR J.

A general model class of finite mixtures of linear regression models is presented. It allows (nested) varying and fixed effects for the regression coefficients and the variance. A combination of…
FlexMix: A general framework for finite mixture models and latent class regression in R
- Computer Science
- 2004
FlexMix implements a general framework for fitting discrete mixtures of regression models in the R statistical computing environment and provides the E-step and all data handling, while the M-step can be supplied by the user to easily define new models.
Assessing a Mixture Model for Clustering with the Integrated Completed Likelihood
- Computer ScienceIEEE Trans. Pattern Anal. Mach. Intell.
- 2000
An assessing method of mixture model in a cluster analysis setting with integrated completed likelihood appears to be more robust to violation of some of the mixture model assumptions and it can select a number of dusters leading to a sensible partitioning of the data.
Identifiablity of Models for Clusterwise Linear Regression
- MathematicsJ. Classif.
- 2000
The model choice and the interpretation of the parameters are discussed as
well as the use of the identifiability concept for fixed partition models.
The concept is generalized to "partial…
