Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Constrained approaches to maximum likelihood estimation in the context of finite mixtures of normals have been presented in the literature. A fully data-dependent soft constrained method for maximum likelihood estimation of clusterwise linear regression is proposed, which extends previous work in equivariant data-driven estimation of finite mixtures of normals. The method imposes soft scale bounds based on the homoscedastic variance and a cross-validated tuning parameter c. In our simulation studies and real data examples we show that the selected c will produce an output model with clusterwise linear regressions and clustering as a most-suited-to-the-data solution in between the homoscedastic and the heteroscedastic models.
