Finite Mixture Models and Hidden Markov Models

Finite mixture models and hidden Markov models (HMMs) occupy central roles in modern statistical inference and data analysis. Finite mixture models assume that data originate from a latent combination ...

A Bayesian sparse finite mixture model for clustering data from a heterogeneous population

In this paper, we introduce a Bayesian approach for clustering data using a sparse finite mixture model (SFMM). The SFMM is a finite mixture model with a large number of components k previously fixed ...

Reconciling conflicting evidence on the origins of comparative development: a finite mixture model approach

In this paper, I revisit the controversy over the fundamental sources of comparative development. In contrast to much of the previous literature, my focus is on the appropriate specification of the ...
