Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) are statistical models that represent the data as a mixture of Gaussian (normal) distributions. These models can be used to identify groups within the dataset, and to capture the complex, multi-modal structure of data distributions.
GMMs are used in a variety of machine learning applications, including clustering, density…
