Özet
© 2017, Universidad Nacional de Colombia. All rights reserved.In this study, we explore a robust mixture regression procedure based on the skew t distribution in order to model heavy-tailed and/or skewed errors in a mixture regression setting. We present an EM-type algorithm to compute the maximum likelihood estimators for the parameters of interest using the scale mixture representation of the skew t distribution. The performance of proposed estimators is demonstrated by a simulation study and a real data example.
