  2. EM algorithm and GMM model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EM_Algorithm_And_GMM_Model

    The EM algorithm consists of two steps: the E-step and the M-step. Firstly, the model parameters and the () can be randomly initialized. In the E-step, the algorithm tries to guess the value of () based on the parameters, while in the M-step, the algorithm updates the value of the model parameters based on the guess of () of the E-step.

  3. Mixture model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixture_model

    A typical finite-dimensional mixture model is a hierarchical model consisting of the following components: . N random variables that are observed, each distributed according to a mixture of K components, with the components belonging to the same parametric family of distributions (e.g., all normal, all Zipfian, etc.) but with different parameters

  4. Model-based clustering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model-based_clustering

    Model-based clustering [1] based on a statistical model for the data, usually a mixture model. This has several advantages, including a principled statistical basis for clustering, and ways to choose the number of clusters, to choose the best clustering model, to assess the uncertainty of the clustering, and to identify outliers that do not ...

  5. Expectation–maximization algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expectation–maximization...

    The on-line textbook: Information Theory, Inference, and Learning Algorithms, by David J.C. MacKay includes simple examples of the EM algorithm such as clustering using the soft k-means algorithm, and emphasizes the variational view of the EM algorithm, as described in Chapter 33.7 of version 7.2 (fourth edition).

  6. Cluster analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluster_analysis

    Understanding these "cluster models" is key to understanding the differences between the various algorithms. Typical cluster models include: Connectivity model s: for example, hierarchical clustering builds models based on distance connectivity. Centroid model s: for example, the k-means algorithm represents each cluster by a single mean vector.

  7. Naive Bayes classifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naive_Bayes_classifier

    There is not a single algorithm for training such classifiers, but a family of algorithms based on a common principle: all naive Bayes classifiers assume that the value of a particular feature is independent of the value of any other feature, given the class variable. For example, a fruit may be considered to be an apple if it is red, round ...

  8. Determining the number of clusters in a data set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Determining_the_number_of...

    The average silhouette of the data is another useful criterion for assessing the natural number of clusters. The silhouette of a data instance is a measure of how closely it is matched to data within its cluster and how loosely it is matched to data of the neighboring cluster, i.e., the cluster whose average distance from the datum is lowest. [8]

  9. Independent component analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_component_analysis

    Middle row: Four random mixtures used as input to the algorithm. Bottom row: The reconstructed videos. Independent component analysis attempts to decompose a multivariate signal into independent non-Gaussian signals. As an example, sound is usually a signal that is composed of the numerical addition, at each time t, of signals from several sources.
