Mixture-of-Gaussians

Fit a Gaussian mixture model given a set of data

Features:

• Implemented in C++
• Depend on STL and Eigen Only
• Can benefit from the using of Intel Math Kernel Library (through Eigen)

Please check the test.cc for usage

void em_gmm(
        const float *data, 
        const long num_pts, 
        const long dim,
        const int num_modes,
        float *means, 
        float *diag_covs,
        float *weights,
        bool should_fit_spherical_gaussian = true);

Example

Points sampled from 2-component GMM can be found in sample.h, the mean and variance of the two Gaussians are

    mean of Gaussian1 : [1 2]
    mean of Gaussian2 : [-3 -5]
    diagonal variance of Gaussian1: [2 0.5]
    diagonal variance of Gaussian2: [1 1]

The output of test.cc is (can be different due the random initialization of EM):

    $./test
    kmeans [1] 0 2.67368
    kmeans [2] 2.67368 0.000552935
