Abstract

We consider the case where a latent variable X cannot be observed directly and instead a variable W=X+U with an heteroscedastic measurement error U is observed. It is assumed that the distribution of the true variable X is a mixture of normals and a type of the EM algorithm is applied to find approximate ML estimates of the distribution parameters of X.
