This repository contains code for performing Gaussian mixture modeling (GMM) to separate two-dimensional datasets into classes by modeling the data as samples from two or more Gaussian distributions.
A full description of function inputs/outputs can be viewed by using help smart.cluster.gaussian in the MATLAB command line. Generally, the function's inputs are the unlabeled data and model hyperparameters, and the output is a struct containing class labels for each input datapoint and the final model parameters contained in a struct. This output can be used to seed the model on subsequent function calls. The following is an example function call:
new_model = smart.cluster.gaussian(data, true, 'startModel', old_model, 'numClusters', 3, 'iterations', 100);
labeled_data = new_model.indices; old_model = new_model.model;Note that the +cluster package is contained within the +smart package for compatibility with other repositories, since they may contain other subpackages of the larger +smart package which rely on +cluster package functions. These other subpackages may be pasted in the +smart folder to add their respective functionality, though they will generally already contain all dependencies when cloned.
Data should be provided in a Mx2 matrix with M observations of two-dimensional data.
