Finite mixture of skewed sub-Gaussian stable distributions
We propose the finite mixture of skewed sub-Gaussian stable distributions. The maximum likelihood estimator for the parameters of proposed finite mixture model is computed through the expectation-maximization algorithm. The proposed model contains the finite mixture of normal and skewed normal distributions. Since the tails of proposed model is heavier than even the Student's t distribution, it can be used as a powerful model for robust model-based clustering. Performance of the proposed model is demonstrated by clustering simulation data and two sets of real data.

The Infinite Mixture of Infinite Gaussian Mixtures
Dirichlet process mixture of Gaussians (DPMG) has been used in the literature for clustering and density estimation problems. However, many real-world data exhibit cluster distributions that cannot be captured by a singl…
ClusteringDensity EstimationCluster weighted models with multivariate skewed distributions for functional data
We propose a clustering method, funWeightClustSkew, based on mixtures of functional linear regression models and three skewed multivariate distributions: the variance-gamma distribution, the skew-t distribution, and the …
ClusteringA Mixture of Generalized Hyperbolic Factor Analyzers
Model-based clustering imposes a finite mixture modelling structure on data for clustering. Finite mixture models assume that the population is a convex combination of a finite number of densities, the distribution withi…
ClusteringRobust mixture modelling using sub-Gaussian stable distribution
Heavy-tailed distributions are widely used in robust mixture modelling due to possessing thick tails. As a computationally tractable subclass of the stable distributions, sub-Gaussian $\alpha$-stable distribution receive…
Mixtures of Skewed Matrix Variate Bilinear Factor Analyzers
In recent years, data have become increasingly higher dimensional and, therefore, an increased need has arisen for dimension reduction techniques for clustering. Although such techniques are firmly established in the lit…
