EM algorithm with Initialization by K-means

Abstract

On this article, I'll check the EM algorithm with the initialized values by k-means. In many algorithms, initial values are very important theme. On EM algorithm, with inappropriate initial values, it takes much time for convergence and if the algorithm is naively written, it stops with error because of non-positive-definite.

So, I'll do experiment to check how much the accuracy, the number of iteration and time change with and without initialized values by k-means. Here, I'll just touch EM algorithm about the mixture of Gaussian case.
If there is a mistake or inappropriate points, please let me know by comment.

Probabilistic Clustering with EM algorithm: Algorithm and Visualization with Julia from scratch

Abstract

On this article, I'll write probabilistic clustering by EM algorithm from scratch with Julia. Here, I'll touch only about mixture of Gaussian case.
The outcome of clustering becomes below. To the simple artificial data, it is working.
