We introduce a maximum L<italic>q</italic>-likelihood estimation (ML<italic>q</italic>E) of mixture models using our proposed expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm, namely the EM algorithm with L<italic>q</italic>-likelihood (EM-L<italic>q</italic>). Properties of the ML<italic>q</italic>E obtained from the proposed EM-L<italic>q</italic> are studied through simulated mixture model data....
