ARGUMENTSConstructor or factory
CLASSml_EM
RETURN TYPEOwned native handle
Call structure. A void return can still write to destination arguments. The parameter descriptions define inputs, outputs and ownership.

Native object: release it with using or delete(). Factories can return null; check before calling methods. Inherits ml_StatModel.

Constructors and members

static create

Creates empty %EM model. The model should be trained then using StatModel::train(traindata, flags) method. Alternatively, you can use one of the EM::train* methods or load it from file using Algorithm::load<EM>(filename).

create(): ml_EM | null;
Returns

The ml_EM | null result.

static load

Loads and creates a serialized EM from a file

Use EM::save to serialize and store an EM to disk. Load the EM from this file again, by calling this function with the path to the file. Optionally specify the node for the file containing the classifier

load(filepath: EmbindString, nodeName: EmbindString): ml_EM | null;
2 available overloads
load(filepath: EmbindString): ml_EM | null;
load(filepath: EmbindString, nodeName: EmbindString): ml_EM | null;
filepath

path to serialized EM

nodeName

name of node containing the classifier

Returns

The ml_EM | null result.

trainEM

Estimate the Gaussian mixture parameters from a samples set.

This variation starts with Expectation step. Initial values of the model parameters will be
estimated by the k-means algorithm.

Unlike many of the ML models, %EM is an unsupervised learning algorithm and it does not take
responses (class labels or function values) as input. Instead, it computes the *Maximum
Likelihood Estimate* of the Gaussian mixture parameters from an input sample set, stores all the
parameters inside the structure: `p_{i,k}` in probs, `a_k` in means , `S_k` in
covs[k], `\pi_k` in weights , and optionally computes the output "class label" for each
sample: `\texttt{labels}_i=\texttt{arg max}_k(p_{i,k}), i=1..N` (indices of the most
probable mixture component for each sample).

The trained model can be used further for prediction, just like any other classifier. The
trained model is similar to the NormalBayesClassifier.
