Unsupervised Learning for Finite Mixture Models Based on BIC Criterion and Gibbs Sampling
An unsupervised learning algorithm for finite mixture models (FMM) by using the BIC criterion and the Gibbs sampling is proposed.The FMM parameters are estimated by the Gibbs sampling algorithm.The number of the models is further given by calculating the BIC criterion.In the final simulations
we propose two examples of Gaussian mixture models
where the FMM with different number of components is adopted to fit observation data.The final result shows that the proposed algorithm can effectively estimate the parameters and the number of the components.
