Title
Optimisation of Density Estimation Models with Evolutionary Algorithms
Abstract
. We propose a new optimisation method for estimating boththe parameters and the structure, i. e. the number of components, of afinite mixture model for density estimation. We employ a hybrid methodconsisting of an evolutionary algorithm for structure optimisation in conjunctionwith a gradient-based method for evaluating each candidatemodel architecture. For structure modification we propose specific, problemdependent evolutionary operators. The introduction of a regularisationterm...
