SNMoE (Skew-Normal Mixtures-of-Experts) provides a flexible modelling framework for heterogenous data with possibly skewed distributions to generalize the standard Normal mixture of expert model. SNMoE consists of a mixture of K skew-Normal expert regressors network (of degree p) gated by a softmax gating network (of degree q) and is represented by:
alpha
's of the softmax net.beta
's, scale parameters sigma
's, and the skewness
parameters lambda
's. SNMoE thus generalises mixtures of (normal,
skew-normal) distributions and mixtures of regressions with these
distributions. For example, when $q=0$, we retrieve mixtures of (skew-normal,
or normal) regressions, and when both $p=0$ and $q=0$, it is a mixture of
(skew-normal, or normal) distributions. It also reduces to the standard
(normal, skew-normal) distribution when we only use a single expert ($K=1$).Model estimation/learning is performed by a dedicated expectation conditional maximization (ECM) algorithm by maximizing the observed data log-likelihood. We provide simulated examples to illustrate the use of the model in model-based clustering of heterogeneous regression data and in fitting non-linear regression functions.
It was written in R Markdown, using the knitr package for production.
