Variational Bayesian estimation of a Gaussian mixture.

This class allows to infer an approximate posterior distribution over the parameters of a Gaussian mixture distribution. The effective number of components can be inferred from the data.

This class implements two types of prior for the weights distribution: a finite mixture model with Dirichlet distribution and an infinite mixture model with the Dirichlet Process. In practice Dirichlet Process inference algorithm is approximated and uses a truncated distribution with a fixed maximum number of components (called the Stick-breaking representation). The number of components actually used almost always depends on the data.

Parameters:

Parameters:	n_components : int, defaults to 1. The number of mixture components. Depending on the data and the value of the `weight_concentration_prior` the model can decide to not use all the components by setting some component `weights_` to values very close to zero. The number of effective components is therefore smaller than n_components. covariance_type : {?full?, ?tied?, ?diag?, ?spherical?}, defaults to ?full? String describing the type of covariance parameters to use. Must be one of: 'full' (each component has its own general covariance matrix), 'tied' (all components share the same general covariance matrix), 'diag' (each component has its own diagonal covariance matrix), 'spherical' (each component has its own single variance). tol : float, defaults to 1e-3. The convergence threshold. EM iterations will stop when the lower bound average gain on the likelihood (of the training data with respect to the model) is below this threshold. reg_covar : float, defaults to 1e-6. Non-negative regularization added to the diagonal of covariance. Allows to assure that the covariance matrices are all positive. max_iter : int, defaults to 100. The number of EM iterations to perform. n_init : int, defaults to 1. The number of initializations to perform. The result with the highest lower bound value on the likelihood is kept. init_params : {?kmeans?, ?random?}, defaults to ?kmeans?. The method used to initialize the weights, the means and the covariances. Must be one of: 'kmeans' : responsibilities are initialized using kmeans. 'random' : responsibilities are initialized randomly. weight_concentration_prior_type : str, defaults to ?dirichlet_process?. String describing the type of the weight concentration prior. Must be one of: 'dirichlet_process' (using the Stick-breaking representation), 'dirichlet_distribution' (can favor more uniform weights). weight_concentration_prior : float \| None, optional. The dirichlet concentration of each component on the weight distribution (Dirichlet). The higher concentration puts more mass in the center and will lead to more components being active, while a lower concentration parameter will lead to more mass at the edge of the mixture weights simplex. The value of the parameter must be greater than 0. If it is None, it?s set to `1. / n_components`. mean_precision_prior : float \| None, optional. The precision prior on the mean distribution (Gaussian). Controls the extend to where means can be placed. Smaller values concentrate the means of each clusters around `mean_prior`. The value of the parameter must be greater than 0. If it is None, it?s set to 1. mean_prior : array-like, shape (n_features,), optional The prior on the mean distribution (Gaussian). If it is None, it?s set to the mean of X. degrees_of_freedom_prior : float \| None, optional. The prior of the number of degrees of freedom on the covariance distributions (Wishart). If it is None, it?s set to `n_features`. covariance_prior : float or array-like, optional The prior on the covariance distribution (Wishart). If it is None, the emiprical covariance prior is initialized using the covariance of X. The shape depends on `covariance_type`: (n_features, n_features) if 'full', (n_features, n_features) if 'tied', (n_features) if 'diag', float if 'spherical' random_state: RandomState or an int seed, defaults to None. : A random number generator instance. warm_start : bool, default to False. If ?warm_start? is True, the solution of the last fitting is used as initialization for the next call of fit(). This can speed up convergence when fit is called several time on similar problems. verbose : int, default to 0. Enable verbose output. If 1 then it prints the current initialization and each iteration step. If greater than 1 then it prints also the log probability and the time needed for each step. verbose_interval : int, default to 10. Number of iteration done before the next print.
