A Probabilistic Analysis of EM for Mixtures of Separated, Spherical Gaussians

, and . Journal of Machine Learning Research, (2007)

Abstract

We show that, given data from a mixture of k well-separated spherical Gaussians in R d , a simple two-round variant of EM will, with high probability, learn the parameters of the Gaussians to nearoptimal precision, if the dimension is high (d  lnk). We relate this to previous theoretical and empirical work on the EM algorithm
