Deep Gaussian mixture models [PDF]

open access: yesStatistics and Computing, 2017
Deep learning is a hierarchical inference method formed by subsequent multiple layers of learning able to more efficiently describe complex relationships. In this work, Deep Gaussian Mixture Models are introduced and discussed. A Deep Gaussian Mixture model (DGMM) is a network of multiple layers of latent variables, where, at each layer, the variables ...

Modeling Learner Heterogeneity: A Mixture Learning Model With Responses and Response Times

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2018
The increased popularity of computer-based testing has enabled researchers to collect various types of process data, including test takers' reaction time to assessment items, also known as response times. In recent studies, the relationship between speed

Improved Initialization of the EM Algorithm for Mixture Model Parameter Estimation

open access: yesMathematics, 2020
A commonly used tool for estimating the parameters of a mixture model is the Expectation−Maximization (EM) algorithm, which is an iterative procedure that can serve as a maximum-likelihood estimator.

Model‐based clustering reveals patterns in central place use of a marine top predator

open access: yesEcosphere, 2020
Satellite telemetry data are commonly used to quantify habitat selection, examine animal movements, and delineate home ranges. These data also contain valuable information concerning dens, nests, roosts, and other central places that are often associated

Heat Transfer Enhancement of TiO2/Water Nanofluids Flowing Inside a Square Minichannel with a Microfin Structure: A Numerical Investigation

open access: yesEnergies, 2019
A combination of two passive heat transfer enhancement techniques using a microfin structure and nanofluids was investigated numerically. TiO2/water nanofluids flowing inside a square minichannel with a microfin structure (SMM) were observed as a ...

ChIAMM: A Mixture Model for Statistical Analysis of Long-Range Chromatin Interactions From ChIA-PET Experiments

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2020
Chromatin interaction analysis by paired-end tag sequencing (ChIA-PET) is an important experimental method for detecting specific protein-mediated chromatin loops genome-wide at high resolution. Here, we proposed a new statistical approach with a mixture

Introducing Two Parsimonious Standard Power Mixture Models for Bimodal Proportional Data with Application to Loss Given Default

open access: yesMathematics, 2022
The need to model proportional data is common in a range of disciplines however, due to its bimodal nature, U- or J-shaped data present a particular challenge.

Application of a mixture model to assess the effect of measles-mumps-rubella vaccine on the mumps epidemic in children from kindergarten to early school age in Jiangsu Province, China

open access: yesHuman Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2018
A single dose of the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine has been applied in routine immunizations for children in China; however, the Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody level of mumps in children from kindergarten to early school age with MMR vaccine ...

Generalized Analysis of a Distribution Separation Method

open access: yesEntropy, 2016
Separating two probability distributions from a mixture model that is made up of the combinations of the two is essential to a wide range of applications. For example, in information retrieval (IR), there often exists a mixture distribution consisting of

Mixture of Experts Models

open access: yes, 2019
Mixtures of experts models provide a framework in which covariates may be included in mixture models. This is achieved by modelling the parameters of the mixture model as functions of the concomitant covariates. Given their mixture model foundation, mixtures of experts models possess a diverse range of analytic uses, from clustering observations to ...
