Testing the number of components in a normal mixture
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the likelihood ratio statistic based on the Kullback-Leibler information criterion of the null hypothesis that a random sample is drawn from a k 0 -component normal mixture distribution against the alternative hypothesis that the sample was drawn from an k 1 -component normalized mixture distribution is asymptotically distributed as a weighted sum of independent chi-squared random variables with one degree of freedom, under general regularity conditions.

The Empirical Distribution Function with Arbitrarily Grouped, Censored, and Truncated Data
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple algorithm is constructed and shown to converge monotonically to yield a maximum likelihood estimate of a distribution function when the data are incomplete due to grouping, censoring and/or truncation.
Unbalanced repeated-measures models with structured covariance matrices
TL;DR: This work addresses the question of how to analyze unbalanced or incomplete repeated-measures data through maximum likelihood analysis using a general linear model for expected responses and arbitrary structural models for the within-subject covariances.

Revenue Management Under a General Discrete Choice Model of Consumer Behavior
TL;DR: This paper analyses a single-leg reserve management problem in which the buyers' choice behavior is modeled explicitly and develops an estimation procedure based on the expectation-maximization (EM) method that jointly estimates arrival rates and choice model parameters when no-purchase outcomes are unobservable.
A unifying review of linear Gaussian models
Sam T. Roweis,Zoubin Ghahramani +1 more
TL;DR: A new model for static data is introduced, known as sensible principal component analysis, as well as a novel concept of spatially adaptive observation noise, which shows how independent component analysis is also a variation of the same basic generative model.
