We investigate the problem of estimating the proportion vector which maximizes the likelihood of a given sample for a mixture of given densities. We adapt a framework developed for...

Estimating insurance premia from data is a difficult regression problem for several reasons: the large number of variables, many of which are discrete, and the very peculiar shape...

How to determine the number of clusters is an intractable problem in clustering analysis. In this paper, we propose a new learning paradigm named Maximum Weighted Likelihood (MwL)...
We introduce a new inference algorithm for Dirichlet process mixture models. While Gibbs sampling and variational methods focus on local moves, the new algorithm makes more global...
