Implementing GMM on Dummy Data

Now, you will see how to implement the Gaussian mixture model (GMM) on a simple dataset. The dataset is created using blobs with three clusters, two of which slightly overlap to simulate realistic clustering challenges. The implementation can be broken down in the following steps:

  1. Generating the dataset: the dataset consists of three clusters, generated using Python libraries like sklearn. Two clusters overlap slightly, which makes the task suitable for GMM, as it can handle overlapping data better than traditional methods like K-means;

  2. Training the GMM: the GMM model is trained on the dataset to identify the clusters. During training, the algorithm calculates the probability of each point belonging to each cluster (referred to as responsibilities). It then adjusts the Gaussian distributions iteratively to find the best fit for the data;

  3. Results: after training, the model assigns each data point to one of the three clusters. The overlapping points are probabilistically assigned based on their likelihood, demonstrating GMM's ability to handle complex clustering scenarios.

You can visualize the results using scatter plots, where each point is colored according to its assigned cluster. This example showcases how GMM is effective in clustering data with overlapping regions.
