Multivariate Beta Mixture Model: Probabilistic Clustering With Flexible Cluster Shapes
This paper introduces the multivariate beta mixture model (MBMM), a new probabilistic model for soft clustering. MBMM adapts to diverse cluster shapes because of the flexible probability density function of the multivariate beta distribution. We introduce the properties of MBMM, describe the parameter learning procedure, and present the experimental results, showing that MBMM fits diverse cluster shapes on synthetic and real datasets. The code is released anonymously at https://github.com/hhchen1105/mbmm/.

Flexible Bivariate Beta Mixture Model: A Probabilistic Approach for Clustering Complex Data Structures
Clustering is essential in data analysis and machine learning, but traditional algorithms like $k$-means and Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM) often fail with nonconvex clusters. To address the challenge, we introduce the Fl…

A mixture of multivariate Poisson-log normal factor analyzers is introduced by imposing constraints on the covariance matrix, which resulted in flexible models for clustering purposes. In particular, a class of eight par…
