Fast estimation of Gaussian mixture components via centering and singular value thresholding

Researchers have developed a novel, computationally efficient method for estimating the number of components in Gaussian mixture models, particularly effective for high-dimensional and imbalanced datasets. The technique involves centering the data, calculating singular values, and applying a threshold, bypassing traditional iterative or likelihood-based approaches. This method demonstrates consistent accuracy even when the data dimension exceeds the sample size and can process large datasets rapidly, with one example showing it handling ten million samples in one hundred dimensions within a minute.

    Fast estimation of Gaussian mixture components via centering and singular value thresholding

    Estimating the number of components is a fundamental challenge in unsupervised learning, particularly when dealing with high-dimensional data with many components or severely imbalanced component sizes. This paper addresses this challenge for classical Gaussian mixture models. Th…
