Filling the gaps: Gaussian mixture models from noisy, truncated or incomplete samples

Peter Melchior, Andy D. Goulding

Astronomical data often suffer from noise and incompleteness. We extend the common mixtures-of-Gaussians density estimation approach to account for situations with a known sample i…
