Abstract: This paper studies identifiability and convergence behaviors for parameters of multiple types, including matrix-variate ones, that arise in finite mixtures, and the effects of model fitting with extra mixing components. We consider several notions of strong identifiability in a matrix-variate setting, and use them to establish sharp inequalities relating the distance of mixture densities to the Wasserstein distances of the corresponding mixing measures. Characterization of… Expand

Identifiability of Nonparametric Mixture Models and Bayes Optimal Clustering
• Mathematics, Computer Science
• ArXiv
• 2018
This work establishes general conditions under which families of nonparametric mixture models are identifiable by introducing a novel framework for clustering overfitted \emph{parametric} (i.e. misspecified) mixture models, and applies these results to partition-based clustering, generalizing the well-known notion of a Bayes optimal partition from classical model- based clustering to non parametric settings.
