Nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation of general mixture models pioneered by the work of Kiefer and Wolfowitz (1956) has been recently reformulated as an exponential family regression spline problem in Efron (2016). Both approaches yield a low dimensional estimate of the mixing...

Single index linear models for binary response with random coefficients have been extensively employed in many econometric settings under various parametric specifications of the distribution of the random coefficients. Nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation (NPMLE) as proposed by Cosslett...

Statistical models of unobserved heterogeneity are typically formalized as mixtures of simple parametric models and interest naturally focuses on testing for homogeneity versus general mixture alternatives. Many tests of this type can be interpreted as C(α) tests, as in Neyman (1959), and shown...

Efron's elegant approach to g-modeling for empirical Bayes problems is contrasted with an implementation of the Kiefer-Wolfowitz nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator for mixture models for several examples. The latter approach has the advantage that it is free of tuning parameters and...
