Randomly initialized EM algorithm for two-component Gaussian mixture achieves near optimality in iterations
Yihong Wu, Harrison H. Zhou
We analyze the classical EM algorithm for parameter estimation in the symmetric two-component Gaussian mixtures in dimensions. We show that, even in the absence of any separati…
