摘要

When the true mixing density is known to be continuous, the maximum likelihood estimate of the mixing density does not provide a satisfying answer due to its degeneracy. Estimation of mixing densities is a well-known ill-posed indirect problem. In this article, we propose to estimate the mixing density by maximizing a penalized likelihood and call the resulting estimate the nonparametric maximum penalized likelihood estimate (NPMPLE). Using theory and methods from the Calculus of variations and differential equations, a new functional EM algorithm is derived for computing the NPMPLE of the mixing density. In the algorithm, maximizers in M-steps are found by solving all ordinary differential equation with boundary conditions numerically. Simulation studies show the algorithm outperforms other existing methods such as the popular EMS algorithm. Some theoretical properties of the NPMPLE and the algorithm are also discussed. Computer code used in this article is available online.
