In statistics, a mixture model is a probabilistic model that is formed by a combination of probabilistic models. For example, the Gaussian mixture model is the weighted sum of Gaussian distributions. Mixture models are mainly used in probabilistic clustering of data and modelling of unknown distributional shapes.

Mixture modeling - troublee with infinite values from exp() and log()
I'm writing a function for Gaussian mixture models with spherical covariance structures--ie $\Sigma_k = \sigma_k^2 I$. This particular function is similar to the mclust package with identifier VII.

How to get a likelihood using Mixture of Gaussian Model
To simplify my question, I create a dummy problem here: I have two sets of training data that are labelled with 1 and 2 respectively. Both training datasets assumed to follow mixture of Gaussian distribution. I can easily use Matlab toolbox function…

Expectation Maximization opencv-Log Likelihood value
I'm estimating the parameters of a GMM using EM,
When I use my Matlab script And run the EM code i get a single value of "log-likelihood"..
However in opencv the output of EM.train gives a matrix which contained the loglikelihood value of every…

OpenCV: how to get GMM parameters?
I am using BackgroundSubtractorMOG2 to do background subtraction, and I've manually set the number of mixture model to be used as follows:
cv::BackgroundSubtractorMOG2 myModel;
myModel.set("nmixtures",5);
Now I want to display the actual mixture…

Opencv: Get Expectation Maximization (EM) using Gaussian Mixture Model ( GMM)
I am trying to use GMM to find expectation maximization of different colors in a video frame. Then according to that, I will determine which is the dominant color.
For that, my problem is how can I perform GMM based EM to get and compare those…

GMM clustering algorithm with equal weight and shared diagonal covariance
I'm looking for a Gaussian mixture model clustering algorithm that would allow me to set equal component weights and shared diagonal covariances. I need to analyze a set of data and I don't have the time to try to write the code myself.

Using PyMix, saving m.em() 's final iteration to a vector or something
I'm using the pymix package to solve a mixture model.
m = mixture.MixtureModel(3,[0.1,0.8,0.1], [n1,n2,n3])
# Resolver el Mixture model
m.EM(data,100,0.1)
I cant afterwards do a
print m
and I can see the final…

Why is a Gaussian mixture model used?
Can anyone give a realistic example of what a Gaussian mixture model(GMM) is? Why do we go for GMM and how it works?
I read some content about the same but they have explained in a mathematical way. They say it is used on heterogeneous population…
