Comparing PMDE and MLE by data fitting and their residual histograms. (a) PMDE fit (pink line) and MLE fit (blue line) to simulated data generated from three sine waves; (b) Histogram of residuals by PMDE; (c) Histogram of residuals by MLE; (d) PMDE fit (pink line) and MLE (blue line) fit to simulated data generated from two sine waves; (e) PMDE fit (pink line) and MLE (blue line) fit to data with many outliers; (f) PMDE fit (pink line) and MLE (blue line) fit when two components are of same size.
