On Fitting Mixture Models
Consider the problem of tting a nite Gaussian mixture, with an unknown number of components, to observed data. This paper proposes a new minimum description length (MDL) type criterion, termed MMDL (formixtureMDL), to select the number of components of the model. MMDL is based on the identi cation of an \equivalent sample size", for each component, which does not coincide with the full sample s...
متن کاملGaussian Mixture Modeling with Gaussian Process Latent Variable Models
Density modeling is notoriously difficult for high dimensional data. One approach to the problem is to search for a lower dimensional manifold which captures the main characteristics of the data. Recently, the Gaussian Process Latent Variable Model (GPLVM) has successfully been used to find low dimensional manifolds in a variety of complex data. The GPLVM consists of a set of points in a low di...

متن کاملLatent Variable Models
A powerful approach to probabilistic modelling involves supplementing a set of observed variables with additional latent, or hidden, variables. By defining a joint distribution over visible and latent variables, the corresponding distribution of the observed variables is then obtained by marginalization. This allows relatively complex distributions to be expressed in terms of more tractable joi...
متن کاملAn introduction to latent variable mixture modeling (part 2): longitudinal latent class growth analysis and growth mixture models.
OBJECTIVE Pediatric psychologists are often interested in finding patterns in heterogeneous longitudinal data. Latent variable mixture modeling is an emerging statistical approach that models such heterogeneity by classifying individuals into unobserved groupings (latent classes) with similar (more homogenous) patterns. The purpose of the second of a 2-article set is to offer a nontechnical int...
