Bayesian Gaussian Mixture Model/Evidence
Method evidence record

Bayesian Gaussian Mixture Model

The Bayesian Gaussian Mixture Model places prior distributions over all mixture parameters and infers their posteriors — typically via Variational Bayes or MCMC — rather than fitting fixed point estimates. This yields principled uncertainty quantification, automatic selection of the effective number of components, and resistance to overfitting small datasets.
