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
Subspace Gaussian mixture model (SGMM) is an acoustic modeling approach in which all phonetic states share a common Gaussian mixture model structure, and the means and mixture weights vary in a subspace of the total parameter space.
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.
Histograms for one-dimensional datapoints belonging to clusters detected by an infinite Gaussian mixture model. During the parameter estimation based on Gibbs sampling , new clusters are created and grow on the data. The legend shows the cluster colours and the number of datapoints assigned to each cluster.
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 ...

Commonly, methods for modeling complex distributions rely on parametric assumptions that may be unfounded or computationally challenging (e.g. Gaussian mixture models), while nonparametric methods like kernel density estimation (Note: the smoothing kernels in this context have a different interpretation than the kernels discussed here) or ...
