Covariance matrix

Covariance matrix and multivariate normal distribution
The multivariate normal distribution (or "multinormal distribution") plays a central role in data modeling as real-life multivariate data is often at least approximately multinormally ...

Covariance matrix of group is computed using centered data matrix
It produces covariance matrices for group 1 and 2 as follow ...

The covariance matrix update tends to increase the likelihood for pc and for (xi:Î" âˆ' mk) / σk to be sampled from . This completes the iteration step.

Variance/Covariance Matrix for Parameters. When a model is grossly misspecified, or the estimation procedure gets "hung up" in a local minimum, the standard errors for the parameter estimates can become very large.

In other words, the covariance matrix of the Gaussian is nearly singular, reducing the number of parameters to estimate. Each Gaussian applies some feature extraction technique like PCA to determine the features to use.
