Maximum likelihood estimation is considered for a finite mixture of multivariate-\(t\) distributions and observations with missing at random. A parameter expanded minimization-expectation (PX-EM) algorithm is developed for approximate calculation of the estimates. Its performance is compared to the usual EM algorithm via simulations. Applications to wine recognition data and blue crabs morphological measurements data are presented.
