Heterogeneous compositional data may be simultaneously affected by missing values and atypical points, posing challenges for both clustering and outlier detection. We develop a mixture model for incomplete compositional data under Huber's contamination model, with contamination defined directly on the simplex and on ob...

Missing values, atypical observations, and heterogeneity across latent groups are common sources of complexity in regression data. The contaminated Gaussian cluster-weighted model (CG-CWM) provides a natural framework for handling atypical observations, including outliers and leverage points, in model-based clustering....
Missing values present a common challenge in statistical modeling, so handling them properly is an important research direction. Among the various mechanisms that can generate missing values, the most common is the missing-at-random (MAR) mechanism, in which the probability of missingness depends only on observed data...
Likelihood-based inference for compositional data generally requires fully observed compositions, hindering the direct treatment of missing or censored components on the simplex. In this paper, we develop an expectation-maximisation (EM)-type algorithm for maximum likelihood estimation of the Dirichlet parameters in th...

Incomplete compositional data analysis faces a fundamental limitation: likelihood-based methods for compositional models generally require fully observed compositions, making it difficult to accommodate missing or censored proportions directly on the simplex. Consequently, analysts often discard partially observed comp...
