Abstract:
This study is intended to provide an estimation of penalty function for testing homogeneity of mixture models based on Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation. The penalty function is considered as a parametric function and parameter of determinative shape of the penalty function in conjunction with parameters of mixture models are estimated by a Bayesian approach. Different mixture of uniform distribution are used as prior. Some simulation examples are perform to confirm the efficiency of the present work in comparison with the previous approaches.

Key words:  Bayesian analysis, expectation-maximizationtest, markov chain monte carlo simulation, mixture distributions, modified likelihood ratio test, ,
