Statisticians and, more recently, economists, have developed models of finite mixture distributions to deal with this type of problems.5 This section proposes an interpretation of the BC data as a mixture proportion of players at each level of reasoning may be different accross experiments. 6Recently Arcidiacono and Jones (2003) have proposed an extension of the EM algorithm where the parameters of the finite mixture distribution can be estimated sequentially We apply this mixture distribution model to data gathered from experiments with newspapers readers, involving thousands of subjects in different mean and variance of each composing distribution, as well as the mixing proportions for each group of experiments. ./cache/work_xrad4qo4xjaodf6babt7ivggyq.pdf ./txt/work_xrad4qo4xjaodf6babt7ivggyq.txt
