Parsimonious mixtures of multivariate contaminated normal distributions

A mixture of multivariate contaminated normal distributions is developed for model‐based clustering. In addition to the parameters of the classical normal mixture, our contaminated mixture has, for each cluster, a parameter controlling the proportion of mild outliers and one specifying the degree of...
