Gauss mixtures have gained popularity in statistics and statistical signal processing applications for a variety of reasons, including their ability to well approximatea large cla...
The four-level pachinko allocation model (PAM) (Li & McCallum, 2006) represents correlations among topics using a DAG structure. It does not, however, represent a nested hiera...
For many applied problems in the context of clustering via mixture models, the estimates of the component means and covariance matrices can be affected by observations that are at...
Abstract—In this paper we demonstrate the inherent robustness of minimum distance estimator that makes it a potentially powerful tool for parameter estimation in gene expression ...
Background: Tight clustering arose recently from a desire to obtain tighter and potentially more informative clusters in gene expression studies. Scattered genes with relatively l...
