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
Model-based clustering [1] bases this 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 ...
A Gentle Tutorial of the EM Algorithm and its Application to Parameter Estimation for Gaussian Mixture and Hidden Markov Models (Technical Report TR-97-021). International Computer Science Institute. includes a simplified derivation of the EM equations for Gaussian Mixtures and Gaussian Mixture Hidden Markov Models.
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.
A more general class of regression-based multi-fidelity methods are Bayesian approaches, e.g. Bayesian linear regression, [3] Gaussian mixture models, [10] [11] Gaussian processes, [12] auto-regressive Gaussian processes, [2] or Bayesian polynomial chaos expansions.
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.
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.
