This model contains, among other things, the familiar normal and Student-t models as special cases. For fitting such mixtures, the predictive recursion method is a simple and computationally efficient alternative to existing methods. We define a predictive recursion-based marginal likelihood function, and estimation of the regression parameters proceeds by maximizing this function. A hybrid predictive recursion–EM algorithm is proposed for this purpose. The method’s performance is compared with that of existing methods in simulations and real data analyses.}, journal={Computational Statistics & Data Analysis}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Martin, Ryan and Han, Zhen}, year={2016}, month={Feb}, pages={75–85} } @article{fancher_han_levin_page_reich_smith_wilson_jones_2016, title={Use of Bayesian inference in crystallographic structure refinement via full diffraction profile analysis}, volume={6}, journal={Scientific Reports}, author={Fancher, C.
