Abstract

Model selection for Gaussian mixture learning on a given dataset is an important but difficulty task and also depends on the feature or variable selection in practical applications. In this paper, we propose a new kind of learning algorithm for Gaussian mixtures with simultaneous model selection and variable selection (MSFS) based on the BYY harmony learning framework. It is demonstrated by simulation experiments that the proposed MSFS algorithm is able to solve the model selection and feature selection problems of Gaussian mixture learning on a given dataset simultaneously.
