Robust Mixture Regression Based on the Skew t Distribution

In this study, we explore a robust mixture regression procedure based on the skew t distribution in order to model heavy-tailed and/or skewed errors in a mixture regression setting. We present an EM-type algorithm to compute the maximum likelihood estimators for the parameters of interest using the...
