Detailed Description

template<typename InitialClusteringType = kmeans::KMeans<>, typename CovarianceConstraintPolicy = PositiveDefiniteConstraint>
class mlpack::gmm::EMFit< InitialClusteringType, CovarianceConstraintPolicy >

This class contains methods which can fit a GMM to observations using the EM algorithm.

It requires an initial clustering mechanism, which is by default the KMeans algorithm. The clustering mechanism must implement the following method:

This method should create 'clusters' clusters, and return the assignment of each point to a cluster.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

EMFit ( const size_t  maxIterations = 300,
const double  tolerance = 1e-10,
InitialClusteringType  clusterer = InitialClusteringType(),
CovarianceConstraintPolicy  constraint = CovarianceConstraintPolicy() 
)

Construct the EMFit object, optionally passing an InitialClusteringType object (just in case it needs to store state).

Setting the maximum number of iterations to 0 means that the EM algorithm will iterate until convergence (with the given tolerance).

The parameter forcePositive controls whether or not the covariance matrices are checked for positive definiteness at each iteration. This could be a time-consuming task, so, if you know your data is well-behaved, you can set it to false and save some runtime.

Parameters
maxIterationsMaximum number of iterations for EM.
toleranceLog-likelihood tolerance required for convergence.
forcePositiveCheck for positive-definiteness of each covariance matrix at each iteration.
clustererObject which will perform the initial clustering.

void Estimate ( const arma::mat &  observations,
std::vector< distribution::GaussianDistribution > &  dists,
arma::vec &  weights,
const bool  useInitialModel = false 
)

Fit the observations to a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) using the EM algorithm.

The size of the vectors (indicating the number of components) must already be set. Optionally, if useInitialModel is set to true, then the model given in the means, covariances, and weights parameters is used as the initial model, instead of using the InitialClusteringType::Cluster() option.

Parameters
observationsList of observations to train on.
meansVector to store trained means in.
covariancesVector to store trained covariances in.
weightsVector to store a priori weights in.
useInitialModelIf true, the given model is used for the initial clustering.
void Estimate ( const arma::mat &  observations,
const arma::vec &  probabilities,
std::vector< distribution::GaussianDistribution > &  dists,
arma::vec &  weights,
const bool  useInitialModel = false 
)

Fit the observations to a Gaussian mixture model (GMM) using the EM algorithm, taking into account the probabilities of each point being from this mixture.

The size of the vectors (indicating the number of components) must already be set. Optionally, if useInitialModel is set to true, then the model given in the means, covariances, and weights parameters is used as the initial model, instead of using the InitialClusteringType::Cluster() option.

Parameters
observationsList of observations to train on.
probabilitiesProbability of each point being from this model.
meansVector to store trained means in.
covariancesVector to store trained covariances in.
weightsVector to store a priori weights in.
useInitialModelIf true, the given model is used for the initial clustering.
