Projection pursuit indices are intended to give 'interesting' one-or two-dimensional projections of data points in higher-dimensional spaces. This paper compares the performance of seven such indices. They are all minimum for a normal distribution, and are standardized to be zero for that case. They
For a scale mixture of normal vector, X=A 1ร2 G, where X, G # R n and A is a positive variable, independent of the normal vector G, we obtain that the conditional variance covariance, Cov(X 2 | X 1 ), is always finite a.s. for m 2, where X 1 # R n and m<n, and remains a.s. finite even for m=1, if an
Iterative numerical methods are necessary t o find the maximum likelihood estimates for finite mixture distributions. This paper shows that it will often be possible to analytitally reduce the number of equations that must ultimately be solved numerically. Such a reduction in dimensionality has not
