Abstract: In this paper we study how perturbing a matrix changes its non-negative rank. We prove that the non-negative rank is upper-semicontinuos and we describe some special families of perturbations. We show how our results relate to Statistics in terms of the study of Maximum Likelihood Estimation for mixture models.
