Finite Mixture of Skewed Distributions

by Victor Hugo Lachos Davila, Camila Borelli Zeller, Celso Romulo Barbosa Cabral

This book presents recent results in finite mixtures of skewed distributions to prepare readers to undertake mixture models using scale mixtures of skew normal distributions (SMSN). For this purpose, the authors consider maximum likelihood estimation for univariate and multivariate finite mixtures where components are members of the flexible class of SMSN distributions. This subclass includes the entire family of normal independent distributions,...
