Computational aspects of hierarchical mixture models for geological data

Buidling off a foundation of knowledge from studies into modelling wind speed, models are fitted to multimodal datasets of geological nature. Mixtures of distributions are derived with parameter updates done via implementation of the EM algorithm. Among these mixtures is the Birnbaum-Saunders whi...
