MultivariateGaussianModelFactory (ELKI: Environment for DeveLoping KDD-Applications Supported by Index-Structures)

java.lang.Object
- elki.clustering.em.models.MultivariateGaussianModelFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:

EMClusterModelFactory<NumberVector,EMModel>
```
public class MultivariateGaussianModelFactory
extends java.lang.Object
implements EMClusterModelFactory<NumberVector,EMModel>
```
Factory for EM with multivariate Gaussian models (with covariance; also known as Gaussian Mixture Modeling, GMM).
These models have individual covariance matrixes, so this corresponds to the 'VVV' model in Mclust (R).

Since:

0.7.0
