4. Spatial Point Processes with Dependent Marks for Fingerprint Minutiae. Let xn ≡ { xi, i = 1, 2, · · · , n } denote the collection of n minutiae locations, and for each x ∈ xn, the minutiae orientation wx denotes the corresponding mark, which takes values in (0, π]. The distribution of minutiae in a fingerprint image is best described in terms of a hierarchical model involving all random enti...
متن کاملHierarchical Mixture Models for Expression Profiles
A class of probability models for inference about alterations in gene expression is reviewed. The class entails discrete mixing over patterns of equivalent and differential expression among different mRNA populations, continuous mixing over latent mean expression values conditional on each pattern, and variation of data conditional on latent means. An R package EBarrays implements inference cal...
متن کاملVariational Bayes for Hierarchical Mixture Models
In recent years, sparse classification problems have emerged in many fields of study. Finite mixture models have been developed to facilitate Bayesian inference where parameter sparsity is substantial. Classification with finite mixture models is based on the posterior expectation of latent indicator variables. These quantities are typically estimated using the expectation-maximization (EM) alg...
متن کاملHierarchical Mixture Models for Nested Data Structures
A hierarchical extension of the finite mixture model is presented that can be used for the analysis of nested data structures. The model permits a simultaneous model-based clustering of lowerand higher-level units. Lower-level observations within higher-level units are assumed to be mutually independent given cluster membership of the higher-level units. The proposed model can be seen as a fini...
متن کاملMissing Data Reconstruction Using Gaussian Mixture Models for Fingerprint Images
One of the most important areas in fingerprint biometrics is matching partial fingerprints in fingerprint databases. Recently, significant progress has been made in designing fingerprint identification systems for missing fingerprint information. However, the precise reconstruction of fingerprint images still remains challenging due to the complexity and the ill-posed nature of the problem. Thi...
