  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. Model-based clustering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model-based_clustering

    This led Wolfe to think about how to do the same thing for continuous data, and in 1965 he did so, proposing the Gaussian mixture model for clustering. [42] [43] He also produced the first software for estimating it, called NORMIX. Day (1969), working independently, was the first to publish a journal article on the approach. [44]

  4. 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

    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.

    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.

  7. Cluster analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluster_analysis

    Standard model-based clustering methods include more parsimonious models based on the eigenvalue decomposition of the covariance matrices, that provide a balance between overfitting and fidelity to the data. One prominent method is known as Gaussian mixture models (using the expectation-maximization algorithm).

  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. Generalized method of moments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_method_of_moments

    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.
