To estimate the parameter of a mixture stochastic volatility model, we first use the Expectation-Maximisation (EM) algorithm. The second step is to adopt the clustering approach to classify the database into subsets (clusters). %K Mixture stochastic volatitlity model %K Expectation-Maximization algorithm %K clustering approach %U http://www.aessweb.com/abstract.php?m=April2013&id=5002&aid=1849
