Gaussian Mixture Modelling (GMM)

 Towards Data Science

In a previous post, I discussed k-means clustering as a way of summarising text data. I also talked about some of the limitations of k-means and in what situations it may not be the most appropriate…

A Simple Introduction to Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM)

 Towards Data Science

A Gaussian distribution is what we also know as the Normal distribution. You know, that well spread concept of a bell shaped curve with the mean and median as central point. Given that, if we look at…...
