Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a dataset with two clusters represented in a 2D space, demonstrate how you would fit a GMM to this data and explain your reasoning.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how the EM algorithm optimizes parameters based on observed data.

Question 2

Explain the impact of increasing the number of components in a GMM on model complexity and likelihood.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the balance between fitting the data well and maintaining a generalizable model.
