Difference between number of states and number of mixtures in Gaussian Mixture Model?


I am using the GMMHMM library and I can not figure out the difference between

 n_components : Number of states in the model.
 n_mix : Number of states in the GMM.

Solution

  • n_components means the states in the Hidden Markov Model; n_mix means the number of the mixtures in the mixture gaussian distribution corresponding to each state.
