Robust Gaussian Mixture Model/Evidence
Method evidence record

Robust Gaussian Mixture Model

Robust Gaussian Mixture Model replaces the standard Gaussian components with heavier-tailed distributions — most commonly Student's t-distributions — or incorporates trimming and down-weighting of outliers within the EM framework. The result is a probabilistic clustering and density-estimation method that assigns genuinely anomalous points less influence on component parameters, preventing outliers from distorting cluster shapes or positions.
