sklearn.mixture.DPGMM

class sklearn.mixture.DPGMM(n_components=1, covariance_type='diag', alpha=1.0, random_state=None, thresh=0.01, verbose=False, min_covar=None, n_iter=10, params='wmc', init_params='wmc')

Variational Inference for the Infinite Gaussian Mixture Model.

DPGMM stands for Dirichlet Process Gaussian Mixture Model, and it is an infinite mixture model with the Dirichlet Process as a prior distribution on the number of clusters. In practice the approximate inference algorithm uses a truncated distribution with a fixed maximum number of components, but almost always the number of components actually used depends on the data.

Stick-breaking Representation of a Gaussian mixture model probability distribution. This class allows for easy and efficient inference of an approximate posterior distribution over the parameters of a Gaussian mixture model with a variable number of components (smaller than the truncation parameter n_components).

Initialization is with normally-distributed means and identity covariance, for proper convergence.

Parameters:

n_components: int, optional :

Number of mixture components. Defaults to 1.

covariance_type: string, optional :

String describing the type of covariance parameters to use. Must be one of ‘spherical’, ‘tied’, ‘diag’, ‘full’. Defaults to ‘diag’.

alpha: float, optional :

Real number representing the concentration parameter of the dirichlet process. Intuitively, the Dirichlet Process is as likely to start a new cluster for a point as it is to add that point to a cluster with alpha elements. A higher alpha means more clusters, as the expected number of clusters is alpha*log(N). Defaults to 1.

thresh : float, optional

Convergence threshold.

n_iter : int, optional

Maximum number of iterations to perform before convergence.

params : string, optional

Controls which parameters are updated in the training process. Can contain any combination of ‘w’ for weights, ‘m’ for means, and ‘c’ for covars. Defaults to ‘wmc’.

init_params : string, optional

Controls which parameters are updated in the initialization process. Can contain any combination of ‘w’ for weights, ‘m’ for means, and ‘c’ for covars. Defaults to ‘wmc’.

Attributes:

covariance_type : string

String describing the type of covariance parameters used by the DP-GMM. Must be one of ‘spherical’, ‘tied’, ‘diag’, ‘full’.

n_components : int

Number of mixture components.

`weights_` : array, shape (n_components,)

Mixing weights for each mixture component.

`means_` : array, shape (n_components, n_features)

Mean parameters for each mixture component.

`precs_` : array

Precision (inverse covariance) parameters for each mixture component. The shape depends on covariance_type:

(`n_components`, 'n_features')                if 'spherical',
(`n_features`, `n_features`)                  if 'tied',
(`n_components`, `n_features`)                if 'diag',
(`n_components`, `n_features`, `n_features`)  if 'full'

`converged_` : bool

True when convergence was reached in fit(), False otherwise.

fit(X)

Estimate model parameters with the variational algorithm.

For a full derivation and description of the algorithm see doc/modules/dp-derivation.rst or http://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/dp-derivation.html#

A initialization step is performed before entering the em algorithm. If you want to avoid this step, set the keyword argument init_params to the empty string ‘’ when when creating the object. Likewise, if you would like just to do an initialization, set n_iter=0.

Parameters:

X : array_like, shape (n, n_features)

List of n_features-dimensional data points. Each row corresponds to a single data point.

get_params(deep=True)

Get parameters for this estimator.

Parameters:

deep: boolean, optional :

If True, will return the parameters for this estimator and contained subobjects that are estimators.

Returns:

params : mapping of string to any

Parameter names mapped to their values.

lower_bound(X, z)

returns a lower bound on model evidence based on X and membership

predict(X)

Predict label for data.

Parameters:X : array-like, shape = [n_samples, n_features]
Returns:C : array, shape = (n_samples,)
predict_proba(X)

Predict posterior probability of data under each Gaussian in the model.

Parameters:

List of n_features-dimensional data points. Each row corresponds to a single data point.

Returns:

logprob : array_like, shape (n_samples,)

score_samples(X)

Return the likelihood of the data under the model.

Compute the bound on log probability of X under the model and return the posterior distribution (responsibilities) of each mixture component for each element of X.

This is done by computing the parameters for the mean-field of z for each observation.

Parameters:

X : array_like, shape (n_samples, n_features)

List of n_features-dimensional data points. Each row corresponds to a single data point.

Returns:

logprob : array_like, shape (n_samples,)

responsibilities: array_like, shape (n_samples, n_components) :

Posterior probabilities of each mixture component for each observation

set_params(**params)

Set the parameters of this estimator.

The method works on simple estimators as well as on nested objects (such as pipelines). The former have parameters of the form <component>__<parameter> so that it’s possible to update each component of a nested object.
