On choosing a mixture model for clustering
Two methods for clustering data and choosing a mixture model are proposed. First, we derive a new classification algorithm based on the classification likelihood. Then, the likelihood conditional on these clusters is written as the product of likelihoods of each cluster, and AICrespectively BIC-type approximations are applied. The resulting criteria turn out to be the sum of the AIC or BIC rela...
متن کاملOn a Resampling Approach to Choosing the Number of Components in Normal Mixture Models
We consider the tting of a g-component normal mixture to multivariate data. The problem is to test whether g is equal to some speciied value versus some speciied alternative value. This problem would arise, for example, in the context of a cluster analysis eeected by a normal mixture model, where the decision on the number of clusters is undertaken by testing for the smallest value of g compati...
متن کاملResidual-life estimation for components with non-symmetric priors
Condition monitoring uses sensory signals to assess the health of engineering systems. A degradation model is a mathematical characterization of the evolution of a condition signal. Our recent research focuses on using degradation models to compute residuallife distributions for degrading components. Residual-life distributions are important for providing probabilistic estimates of failure time...
متن کاملAutomated Intraventricular Septum Segmentation Using Non-local Spatio-temporal Priors
Automated robust segmentation of intra-ventricular septum (IVS) from B-mode echocardiographic images is an enabler for early quantification of cardiac disease. Segmentation of septum from ultrasound images is very challenging due to variations in intensity/contrast in and around the septum, speckle noise and non-rigid shape variations of the septum boundary. In this work, we effectively address...
متن کاملOn Bayesian calculations for mixture likelihoods and priors.
We present methodology for calculating Bayes factors between models as well as posterior probabilities of the models when the indicator variables of the models are integrated out of the posterior before Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) computations. Standard methodology would include the indicator functions as part of the MCMC computations. We demonstrate that our methodology can give substantia...
