Finite Mixture of Compositional Regression With Gaussian Errors
Mixtura finita de una regresión composicional con errores Gaussianos
1 Department of Applied Mathematics & Statistics, University of Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, Brazil.
In this paper, we consider to evaluate the efficiency of volleyball players according to your performance of attack, block and serve, considering the compositional structure of the data related to the fundaments of this sport. In this way, we consider a nite mixture of regression model to compositional data. The maximum likelihood estimation of this model was obtained via an EM algorithm. A simulation study reveals that the parameters are correctly recovery. In addition, the estimators are asymptotically unbiased. By considering real dataset of Brazilian volleyball competition, we show that the model proposed presents best fit than the usual regression model.
Key words: Compositional Data; Finite Mixture Regression; EM Algorithm
En este estudio evaluamos la eficiencia de los jugadores de voleibol de acuerdo con su desempeño de ataque, bloqueo y servicio, teniendo en cuenta la estructura composicional de los datos relacionados con los fundamentos de este deporte. Así, consideramos un modelo de regresión de mixtura finita para datos composicionales. La estimación de máxima verosimilitud fue obtenida via un Algoritmo EM. Un estudio de simulación revela que los parámetros son correctamente recuperados. Adicionalmente, los estimadores son asintóticamente insesgados. Considerando dados reales del campeonato de voleyball brasileño nosotros mostramos que el modelo propuesto presenta mejor ajuste que el modelo de regresión usual.
Palabras clave: algoritmo EM; Datos Composicionales; mixtura finita
