Abstract:

Finite mixture modeling is a popular technique that can account for various shapes and patterns in data. The majority of mixtures considered in literature are devoted to handling continuous data. We consider a finite mixture model constructed with bell-shaped discrete component distributions. This type of mixture is used for the problem of extracting the informative part of the sample, also called signal, and separating it from the noise. An application to the mass spectrum analysis is considered.
