Pattern Clustering by Multivariate Mixture Analysis.

چکیده

Cluster analysis is reformulated as a problem of estimating the para- meters of a mixture of multivariate distributions. The maximum-likelihood theory and numerical solution techniques are developed for a fairly general class of distributions. The theory is applied to mixtures of multivariate nor- mals (NORMIX) and mixtures of multivariate Bernoulli distributions (Latent Classes). The feasibility of the procedures is demonstrated by two examples of computer solutions for normal mixture models of the Fisher Iris data and of artifjcially generated clusters with unequal covariance matrices.

Face recognition system based on Doubly truncated multivariate Gaussian Mixture Model

A face recognition algorithm based on doubly truncated multivariate Gaussian mixture model with DCT is introduced. The truncation on the feature vector with a significant influence on improving the recognition rate of the system using EM algorithm with K-means or hierarchical clustering is implemented. The characteristic model parameters are estimated. The EM algorithm containing the updated eq...

Multivariate Data Clustering for the Gaussian Mixture Model

This paper discusses a soft sample clustering problem for multivariate independent random data satisfying the mixture model of the Gaussian distribution. The theory recommends to estimate the parameters of model by the maximum likelihood method and to use “plug-in” approach for data clustering. Unfortunately, the calculation problem of the maximum likelihood estimate is not completely solved in...

On Model-Based Clustering, Classification, and Discriminant Analysis

The use of mixture models for clustering and classification has burgeoned into an important subfield of multivariate analysis. These approaches have been around for a half-century or so, with significant activity in the area over the past decade. The primary focus of this paper is to review work in model-based clustering, classification, and discriminant analysis, with particular attenti...

Bayesian spatial defect pattern recognition in semiconductor fabrication using support vector clustering

Defects generated during integrated circuit (IC) fabrication processes are classified into global defects and local defects according to their generation causes. Spatial patterns of locally clustered defects are likely to contain the information related to their defect generation mechanisms. In this paper, we propose a model-based clustering for spatial patterns of local defects to reflect real...

A Comparison of Information Criteria in Clustering Based on Mixture of Multivariate Normal Distributions

Clustering analysis based on a mixture of multivariate normal distributions is commonly used in the clustering of multidimensional data sets. Model selection is one of the most important problems in mixture cluster analysis based on the mixture of multivariate normal distributions. Model selection involves the determination of the number of components (clusters) and the selection of an appropri...
