A mixture model-based approach to the clustering of exponential repeated data

Résumé

The analysis of finite mixture models for exponential repeated data is considered. The mixture components correspond to different unknown groups of the statistical units. Dependency and variability of repeated data are taken into account through random effects. For each component, an exponential mixed model is thus defined. When considering parameter estimation in this mixture of exponential mixed models, the EM-algorithm cannot be directly used since the marginal distribution of each mixture component cannot be analytically derived. In this paper, we propose two parameter estimation methods. The first one uses a linearisation specific to the exponential distribution hypothesis within each component. The second approach uses a Metropolis-Hastings algorithm as a building block of a general MCEM-algorithm
