Create the ellipses

The area enclosed by the ellipse represents the 95% of cluster's observations, so this curve is useful to picture where is the cluster situated. Since we have already extracted the means (mean_comp_number) and the covariance matrices (covariance_comp_number), we can easily create the ellipses for the two clusters.

Be aware though that the ellipses do not consider the proportions and only show you where the clusters are, but not their importance.

Use the function ellipse() to create these curves. The function has the covariance matrix as x argument and the mean as centre argument.
Use the number of rows in the gender dataset as npoints.

In this chapter, you will be introduced to fundamental concepts in model-based clustering and how this approach differs from other clustering techniques. You will learn the generating process of Gaussian Mixture Models as well as how to visualize the clusters.

Exercise 1: Introduction to model-based clustering Exercise 2: Clustering approaches Exercise 3: Explore gender data Exercise 4: Gaussian distribution Exercise 5: Sampling a Gaussian distribution Exercise 6: (not so good) Estimations of the mean and sd Exercise 7: Gaussian mixture models (GMM)Exercise 8: Simulate a mixture of two Gaussian distributions Exercise 9: Plot histogram of Gaussian Mixture Exercise 10: Mixture of three Gaussian distributions

In this chapter, you will be introduced to the main structure of Mixture Models, how to address different data with this approach and how to estimate the parameters involved. To accomplish the estimation, you will learn an iterative method called Expectation-Maximization algorithm.

Exercise 16: Visualize the clusters

In this module, you will learn how Mixture Models extends to consider probability distributions different from the Gaussian and how these models are fitted with `flexmix`. The datasets used are handwritten digits images and the number of crimes in Chicago city. For the first dataset you will find clusters that summarize the handwritten digits and for the second dataset, you will find clusters of communities where is more or less dangerous to live in.
