Abstract

This paper concerned is with estimation of the components and classification in semi-parametric mixture models with increasing number of components as the sample size grows. Properties of the penalized maximum likelihood estimators are presented: consistency, rates of convergence and asymptotic normality, under additional assumptions. A random classification of the observations is based on the same criterium and some consistency properties are established.
