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.
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. [1]
It can be used, for example, to estimate a mixture of gaussians, or to solve the multiple linear regression problem. [2] EM clustering of Old Faithful eruption data. The random initial model (which, due to the different scales of the axes, appears to be two very flat and wide ellipses) is fit to the observed data. In the first iterations, the ...
In econometrics and statistics, the generalized method of moments (GMM) is a generic method for estimating parameters in statistical models.Usually it is applied in the context of semiparametric models, where the parameter of interest is finite-dimensional, whereas the full shape of the data's distribution function may not be known, and therefore maximum likelihood estimation is not applicable.
Copula, for the definition of the Gaussian or normal copula model. Multivariate t-distribution , which is another widely used spherically symmetric multivariate distribution. Multivariate stable distribution extension of the multivariate normal distribution, when the index (exponent in the characteristic function) is between zero and two.

In probability and statistics, a mixture distribution is the probability distribution of a random variable that is derived from a collection of other random variables as follows: first, a random variable is selected by chance from the collection according to given probabilities of selection, and then the value of the selected random variable is realized.
