✦ Synopsis
Models for mixtures of ingredients are typically ÿtted by Sche à e's canonical model forms. An alternative representation is discussed which o ers attractive symmetries, compact notation and homogeneous model functions. It is based on the Kronecker algebra of vectors and matrices, used successfully in previous response surface work. These alternative polynomials are contrasted with those of Sche à e, and ideas of synergism and model reduction are connected together in both algebras. Sche à e's 'special cubic' is shown to be sensible in both algebras.

We test if a regression function belongs to a class of parametric models by measuring the discrepancy between a parametric ÿt and a local polynomial regression. The proposed test is a weighted L 2 -norm of a smoothed function based on the parametric residuals.
If P is a continuous m-homogeneous polynomial on a real normed space and P 8 is the associated symmetric m-linear form, the ratio &P 8 &Â&P& always lies between 1 and m m Âm!. We show that, as in the complex case investigated by Sarantopoulos (1987, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 99, 340 346), there are P '
In this paper, we propose parameter estimation techniques for mixture density polynomial segment models (MDPSMs) where their trajectories are specified with an arbitrary regression order. MDPSM parameters can be trained in one of three different ways: (1) segment clustering; (2) expectation maximiza
