Abstract: In a Bayesian mixture model, there is no need a priori to restrict the number of components to be finite. Infinite mixture models sidestep the problem of finding the "correct" number of components, and may be handled using a finite amount of computation. In this paper it is demonstrated how inference may be done in infinite mixture models using a Markov Chain whose implementation relies entirely on Gibbs sampling. An example is given of application to multivariate density estimation. 1... (Update)

Context of citations to this paper:   More

.... For Gaussian mixture models Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods have been developed to approximate these integrals by sampling [6, 5]. The main criticism of MCMC methods is that they are slow and it is usually difficult to assess convergence. Furthermore, the...
