EM for a GMM — one iteration explicitly.
hardAnswer
- E-step: for each point and cluster j, (responsibilities).
- M-step: update , , ' / .
- Converges to local max of log-likelihood.
- Init sensitive → use k-means for starting points.
Check yourself — multiple choice
- Random
- E: …; M: weighted mean/cov update by γ; init-sensitive → warm-start with k-means
- Same as k-means
- Only sup.
GMM-EM: E computes responsibilities γ, M does weighted mean/cov updates.
