Exercise

Number of clusters

You have learned that in order to cluster the data with mixture models, there are three main questions to answer: 1) Which distribution, 2) How many clusters and 3) What parameters.

The mix_example dataset is available in your workspace, and it is a simulation of a Gaussian Mixture Model. The aim is to discover, through simple exploratory data analysis (histogram, for instance), how many clusters you should consider for this dataset.
