Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a dataset with three distinct but overlapping clusters, describe how you would apply a GMM and the steps you would take.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how each step builds on the last to refine your clusters.

Question 2

Discuss the limitations of GMMs in practical applications. What scenarios can lead to poor performance?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the assumptions we make when fitting models to real-world data.
