Mixture Model-Based Classification (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This work addresses classification using mixture models broadly. Unlike traditional treatments of the subject that heavily focus on unsupervised approaches, this book gives attention to unsupervised, semi-supervised, and supervised classification paradigms. Case studies illustrate both non-Gaussian and Gaussian approaches to model selection.

Rezensionen

"This Monograph, "Mixture Model-Based Classification" is an excellent book, highly relevant to every statistician working with classification problems."
~International Society for Clinical Biostatistics

"This monograph is an extensive introduction of mixture models with applications in classification and clustering. . . The author did good work by organizing the materials in a very natural way as well as presenting methods and algorithms in great detail. Moreover, many case studies help the reader understand and appreciate the methodologies presented."
~Journal of the American Statistical Association

"I would recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about application of mixture models to classification problems."
~The International Biometric Society
