A Block EM Algorithm for Multivariate Skew Normal and Skew t -Mixture Models

Finite mixtures of skew distributions provide a flexible tool for modeling heterogeneous data with asymmetric distributional features. However, parameter estimation via the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm can become very time consuming due to the complicated expressions involved in the E-ste...
