We have seen that a mixture model gives to every observation a probability of belonging to each cluster. However, if we want to assign each observation to the cluster that has the maximum probability, we can use the function clusters() from flexmix package.

Since the mix_example dataset was a simulation, we actually have the real labels for each observation. These are provided in the assignment variable. The aim in this exercise is to compare the labels assigned by the clusters() function versus the real assignments.

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.

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.
