Abstract One of the main goal in the mixture distributions is to determine the number of components. There are different methods for determination the number of components, for example, Greedy-EM algorithm which is based on adding a new component to the model until satisfied the best number of components. The second method is based on maximum entropy and finally the third method is based on nonparametric. In this manuscript it is considered the mixture distributions with Skew-t-Normal components.
Keywords: Finite Mixture Distribution, Number of components, Greedy-EM algorithm, Maximum Entropy, Skew-t-Normal distribution
