Method of moments for Gaussian mixtures: Implementation and benchmarks
Haley Colgate Kottler, Julia Lindberg, Jose Israel Rodriguez
Gaussian mixture models are universal approximators in the sense that any smooth density can be approximated arbitrarily well with a Gaussian mixture model with enough components.…
