Component selection for exponential power mixture models.

ABSTRACT: Exponential Power (EP) family is a much flexible distribution family including Gaussian family as a sub-family. In this article, we study component selection and estimation for EP mixture models and regressions. The assumption on zero component mean in [X. Cao, Q. Zhao, D. Meng, Y. Chen, and Z. Xu, Robust low-rank matrix factorization under general mixture noise distributions, IEEE. Trans. Image. Process. 25 (2016), pp. 4677-4690.] is relaxed. To select components and estimate parameters simultaneously, we propose a penalized likelihood method, which can shrink mixing proportions to zero to achieve components selection. Modified EM algorithms are proposed, and the consistency of estimated component number is obtained. Simulation studies show the advantages of the proposed methods on accura
