Unsupervised learning of mixture models based on swarm intelligence and neural networks with optimal completion using incomplete data

In this paper, a new algorithm is presented for unsupervised learning of finite mixture models (FMMs) using data set with missing values. This algorithm overcomes the local optima problem of the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm via integrating the EM algorithm with Particle Swarm Optimization...
