Abstract |
In the mixture regression models, the regression parameters are estimated by maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) via EM algorithm. Generally, maximum likelihood estimation is sensitive to outliers and heavy tailed error distribution. The robust method, M-estimation can handle outliers existing on dependent variable only for estimating regression coefficients in regression models. Moreover, GM-estimation can handle outliers existing on dependent variable and independent variables. In this study, the modified GM-estimations for estimating the regression coefficients in the mixture regression models are proposed. A Monte Carlo simulation is used to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed methods. The results show that the proposed modified GM-estimations approximate to MLE when there are no outliers and the error is normally distributed. Furthermore, our proposed methods have more efficient than the MLE, when there are leverage points. |
