Statistical Analysis with Missing Data

Finite mixture models are being used increasingly to model a wide variety of random phenomena for clustering, classification and density estimation. mclust is a powerful and popular package which allows modelling of data as a Gaussian finite mixture with different covariance structures and different numbers of mixture components, for a variety of purposes of analysis. Recently, version 5 of the package has been made available on CRAN. This updated version adds new covariance structures, dimension reduction capabilities for visualisation, model selection criteria, initialisation strategies for the EM algorithm, and bootstrap-based inference, making it a full-featured R package for data analysis via finite mixture modelling.

mclust 5: Clustering, Classification and Density Estimation Using Gaussian Finite Mixture Models.

Matrix Differential Calculus with Applications in Statistics and Econometrics

We present a variational approximation to the information bottleneck of Tishby et al. (1999). This variational approach allows us to parameterize the information bottleneck model using a neural network and leverage the reparameterization trick for efficient training. We call this method "Deep Variational Information Bottleneck", or Deep VIB. We show that models trained with the VIB objective outperform those that are trained with other forms of regularization, in terms of generalization performance and robustness to adversarial attack.

Deep Variational Information Bottleneck

A mixture of shifted asymmetric Laplace distributions is introduced and used for clustering and classification. A variant of the EM algorithm is developed for parameter estimation by exploiting the relationship with the generalized inverse Gaussian distribution. This approach is mathematically elegant and relatively computationally straightforward. Our novel mixture modelling approach is demonstrated on both simulated and real data to illustrate clustering and classification applications. In these analyses, our mixture of shifted asymmetric Laplace distributions performs favourably when compared to the popular Gaussian approach. This work, which marks an important step in the non-Gaussian model-based clustering and classification direction, concludes with discussion as well as suggestions for future work.

Mixtures of Shifted AsymmetricLaplace Distributions

We introduce a mixture of generalized hyperbolic distributions as an alternative to the ubiquitous mixture of Gaussian distributions as well as their near relatives within which the mixture of multivariate t-distributions and the mixture of skew-t distributions predominate. The mathematical development of our mixture of generalized hyperbolic distributions model relies on its relationship with the generalized inverse Gaussian distribution. The latter is reviewed before our mixture models are presented along with details of the aforesaid reliance. Parameter estimation is outlined within the expectation–maximization framework before the clustering performance of our mixture models is illustrated via applications on simulated and real data. In particular, the ability of our models to recover parameters for data from underlying Gaussian and skew-t distributions is demonstrated. Finally, the role of generalized hyperbolic mixtures within the wider model-based clustering, classification, and density estimation literature is discussed.

Les auteurs presentent un melange de distributions hyperboliques generalisees comme solution de rechange aux melanges habituels bases sur la distribution gaussienne, celle de Student ou celle de Student asymetrique. Les auteurs passent en revue les proprietes de l'inverse generalise de la distribution gaussienne puisque le developpement mathematique qu'ils presentent repose sur un lien, presente en detail, entre cet inverse generalise et les distributions hyperboliques generalisees. Ils procedent a l'estimation des parametres par un algorithme d'esperance-maximisation, puis ils illustrent la performance de leur modele dans le cadre d'une analyse de regroupement en l'appliquant a des donnees simulees, ainsi qu’a un jeu de donnees reelles. Les auteurs demontrent la capacite de leur modele a recuperer les parametres des distributions sous-jacentes lorsque celles-ci sont gaussiennes, ou lorsqu'elles suivent une loi de Student asymetrique. Finalement, ils discutent le role de la distribution hyperbolique generalisee lorsqu'un modele est utilise pour l'analyse de regroupement, la classification ou l'estimation de la densite.

A mixture of generalized hyperbolic distributions

Mixtures of skew-t factor analyzers

We consider the problem of minimizing an objective function that depends on an orthonormal matrix. This situation is encountered, for example, when looking for common principal components. The Flury method is a popular approach but is not effective for higher dimensional problems. We obtain several simple majorization---minimization (MM) algorithms that provide solutions to this problem and are effective in higher dimensions. We use mixture model-based clustering applications to illustrate our MM algorithms. We then use simulated data to compare them with other approaches, with comparisons drawn with respect to convergence and computational time.

Estimating common principal components in high dimensions

We introduce a mixture model whereby each mixture component is itself a mixture of a multivariate Gaussian distribution and a multivariate uniform distribution. Although this model could be used for model-based clustering (model-based unsupervised learning) or model-based classification (model-based semi-supervised learning), we focus on the more general model-based classification framework. In this setting, we fit our mixture models to data where some of the observations have known group memberships and the goal is to predict the memberships of observations with unknown labels. We also present a density estimation example. A generalized expectation-maximization algorithm is used to estimate the parameters and thereby give classifications in this mixture of mixtures model. To simplify the model and the associated parameter estimation, we suggest holding some parameters fixed-this leads to the introduction of more parsimonious models. A simulation study is performed to illustrate how the model allows for bursts of probability and locally higher tails. Two further simulation studies illustrate how the model performs on data simulated from multivariate Gaussian distributions and on data from multivariate t-distributions. This novel approach is also applied to real data and the performance of our approach under the various restrictions is discussed.
