New inequalities clarify Gaussian mixture distance relationships

Researchers have established new inequalities that precisely define the relationship between total variation and Hellinger distances for Gaussian mixtures. Their findings provide a general upper bound, showing the Hellinger distance is controlled by the total variation distance raised to a power. This work resolves an open problem in the field and offers an entropic characterization for learning Gaussian mixtures, with implications for robust estimation and empirical Bayes methods. AI
