The maximum-likelihood theory and numerical solution techniques are developed for a fairly general class of distributions and the feasibility of the procedures is demonstrated by two examples of computer solutions for normal mixture models of the Fisher Iris data and of artify generated clusters with unequal covariance matrices.

This paper addresses the problem of testing hypotheses using the likelihood ratio test statistic in nonidentifiable models, with application to model selection in situations where the parametrization for the larger model leads to nonidentifiability in the smaller model.

The maximum likelihood estimator is shown to converge to the subset characterized by the same density function, and connection is made to the bootstrap method proposed by Aitkin and co-workers and McLachlan for testing the number of components in a finite mixture and deriving confidence regions in a infinite mixture.

This paper solves completely the problem of testing the size of the mixture using maximum likelihood statistics in non identifiable models and derives the asymptotic distribution of the maximum likelihood statistic ratio which takes an unexpected form.

An approach is presented where use is made of the Kullback Leibler information, of which the Fisher information is a limiting case, and it is shown that as n → ∞, the asymptotic distribution of twice the logarithm of the likelihood ratio corresponds to the square of the supremum of a Gaussian stochastic process with mean 0, variance 1 and a well behaved covariance function.

This article introduces a procedure called minimum information ratio estimation and validation (MIREV), which is based on a ratio of Fisher information matrices, which is used to determine the number of components in a mixture of distributions.
