In this talk, several semiparametric extensions of the traditional parametric finite mixture models are introduced. Mixture models are widely used when the population consists of several homogeneous subgroups. Currently most of mixture models...

It is often convenient or useful in mathematics to treat isomorphic structures as the same. The Univalence Axiom for the foundations of mathematics elevates this idea to a foundational principle in the setting of Homotopy Type Theory. It states...
