The maximum-likelihood estimate of a mixture model is usually found by using the EM algorithm. However, the EM algorithm suffers from the local-optimum problem and therefore we cannot obtain the potential performance of mixture models in practice. In the case of mixture models, local maxima often in

In order to alleviate the problem of local convergence of the usual EM algorithm, a split-and-merge operation is introduced into the EM algorithm for Gaussian mixtures. The split-and-merge equations are ÿrst presented theoretically. These equations show that the merge operation is a well-posed probl
