Opis

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.
