The Student’s-t hidden Markov model (SHMM) has been recently proposed as a robust to outliers form of conventional continuous density hidden Markov models, trained by means of t...
Abstract – In this paper we seek a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) of the classconditional densities for plug-in Bayes classification. We propose a method for setting the number of ...
A two component parametric mixture is proposed to model survival after an invasive treatment, when patients may experience different hazards regimes: a risk of early mortality dir...
