In the Gaussian mixture model, following Banfield and Raftery (1993) and Celeux and Govaert (1995), we consider a parameterization of the variance matrices of the mixture components consisting of expressing the variance matrix \(\Sigma_{k}\) in terms of its eigenvalue decomposition $$ \Sigma_{k}= \lambda_{k} D_{k} A_{k}D'_{k}$$ where \(\lambda_{k}=|\Sigma_{k}|^{1/d}, D_{k}\) is the matrix of eigenvectors of \(\Sigma_{k}\) and \(A_{k}\) is a diagonal matrix, such that \(| A_{k} |=1\), with the normalized eigenvalues of \(\Sigma_{k}\) on the diagonal in a decreasing order. The parameter \(\lambda_{k}\) determines the volume of the \(k\)th cluster, \(D_{k}\) its orientation and \(A_{k}\) its shape. By allowing some but not all of these quantities to vary between clusters, we obtain parsimonious and easily interpreted models which are appropriate to describe various clustering situations.
In general family, we can allow the volumes, the shapes and the orientations of clusters to vary or to be equal between clusters. Variations on assumptions on the parameters \(\lambda_{k}, D_{k}\) and \(A_{k}\) \((1 \leq k \leq K)\) lead to 8 general models of interest. For instance, we can assume different volumes and keep the shapes and orientations equal by requiring that \(A_{k}=A\) (\(A\) unknown) and \(D_{k}=D\) (\(D\) unknown) for \(k=1,\ldots,K\). We denote this model \([\lambda_{k}DAD']\). With this convention, writing \([\lambda D_{k}AD'_{k}]\) means that we consider the mixture model with equal volumes, equal shapes and different orientations. In diagonal family, we assume that the variance matrices \(\Sigma_{k}\) are diagonal. In the parameterization, it means that the orientation matrices \(D_{k}\) are permutation matrices. We write \(\Sigma_{k}=\lambda_{k}B_{k}\) where \(B_{k}\) is a diagonal matrix with \(| B_{k}|=1\). This particular parameterization gives rise to 4 models: \([\lambda B]\), \([\lambda_{k}B]\), \([\lambda B_{k}]\) and \([\lambda_{k}B_{k}]\).
In spherical family, we assume spherical shapes, namely \(A_{k}=I\), \(I\) denoting the identity matrix. In such a case, two parsimonious models are in competition: \([\lambda I]\) and \([\lambda_{k}I]\).
