This paper describes and contrasts two useful ways to employ a latent class variable as a mixture variable in regression analyses of panel data with a categorical dependent variable. One way is to ...

You are invited to attend the following M.A.Sc. (Quality Systems Engineering) thesis examination. Finite mixture models have been revealed to provide flexibility for data clustering. They have ...

We examine the problem of jointly selecting the number of components and variables in finite mixture regression models. We find that the Akaike information criterion is unsatisfactory for this purpose ...

You are invited to attend the following M.A.Sc. (Quality Systems Engineering) thesis examination. We have designed and implemented a finite mixture model, using the scaled Dirichlet distribution for ...
