Резюме	Bayesian K-means clustering extends the classical K-means algorithm by placing prior distributions over cluster centroids and mixing proportions. This probabilistic framework provides uncertainty estimates for cluster assignments, allows principled model selection for the number of clusters, and regularises centroid estimation — especially valuable when data are scarce or high-dimensional.	Mixture modeling assumes that a population is composed of K unobserved subpopulations, each described by its own probability distribution. The observed data are treated as draws from a weighted combination of these component distributions. It provides a principled, model-based alternative to ad hoc clustering and supports formal comparison of solutions with different numbers of components.
