Identifiability of nonparametric mixture models and Bayes optimal clustering
非参数混合模型的可识别性与贝叶斯最优聚类
Motivated by problems in data clustering, we establish general conditions under which families of nonparametric mixture models are identifiable by introducing a novel framework involving clustering overfitted parametric (i.e., misspecified) mixture models. These identifiability conditions generalize existing conditions in the literature and are flexible enough to include, for example, mixtures of infinite Gaussian mixtures. In contrast to the recent literature, we allow for…
