Competitive EM algorithm for finite mixture models
In this paper, we present a novel competitive EM (CEM) algorithm for "nite mixture models to overcome the two main drawbacks of the EM algorithm: often getting trapped at local maxima and sometimes converging to the boundary of the parameter space. The proposed algorithm is capable of automatically choosing the clustering number and selecting the “split” or “merge” operations e7ciently based on...
متن کاملEstimation of Mixture Models Using Co-EM
We study estimation of mixture models for problems in which multiple views of the instances are available. Examples of this setting include clustering web pages or research papers that have intrinsic (text) and extrinsic (references) attributes. Our optimization criterion quantifies the likelihood and the consensus among models in the individual views; maximizing this consensus minimizes a boun...
متن کاملFinite mixture modeling with mixture outcomes using the EM algorithm.
This paper discusses the analysis of an extended finite mixture model where the latent classes corresponding to the mixture components for one set of observed variables influence a second set of observed variables. The research is motivated by a repeated measurement study using a random coefficient model to assess the influence of latent growth trajectory class membership on the probability of ...
متن کاملMulti-view EM Algorithm for Finite Mixture Models
In this paper, Multi-View Expectation and Maximization algorithm for finite mixture models is proposed by us to handle realworld learning problems which have natural feature splits. Multi-View EM does feature split as Co-training and Co-EM, but it considers multiview learning problems in the EM framework. The proposed algorithm has these impressing advantages comparing with other algorithms in ...
متن کاملNonparametric Estimation of Finite-mixture Models
The aim of this paper is to provide simple nonparametric methods to estimate finite-mixture models from data with repeated measurements. Three measurements suffice for the mixtures to be fully identified and so our approach can be used even with very short panel data. We provide distribution theory for estimators of the number of mixture components, the mixing proportions, as well as of the mix...
