2026LectureКонстантин Вячеславович Воронцов
Estimating a probability density from a sample: the maximum likelihood principle, the multivariate Gaussian density and its geometric meaning, multicollinearity and regularisation of the covariance matrix; separating a mixture of distributions, the EM algorithm as a method of simple iterations, the Gaussian mixture (GMM); the nonparametric Parzen–Rosenblatt estimate, the choice of kernel and window width; Bayesian classification theory: the generative and discriminative approaches, the optimal Bayes classifier, the Parzen window method, the quadratic discriminant, Fisher's linear discriminant, the radial basis function network and its training by the EM algorithm.
