Finite mixture regression: a sparse variable selection by model selection for clustering

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We consider a finite mixture of Gaussian regression model for high- dimensional data, where the number of covariates may be much larger than the sample size. We propose to estimate the unknown conditional mixture density by a maximum likelihood estimator, restricted on relevant variables selected by an 1-penalized maximum likelihood estimator. We get an oracle inequality satisfied by this estimator with a Jensen-Kullback-Leibler type loss. Our oracle inequality is deduced from a general model selection theorem for maximum likelihood estimators with a random model collection. We can derive the penalty shape of the criterion, which depends on the complexity of the random model collection.
