Simultaneous Bayesian Clustering and Feature Selection Through Student’s ${t}$ Mixtures Model

Journal Article
Sun, J., Zhou, A., Keates, S., & Liao, S. (2018)
Simultaneous Bayesian Clustering and Feature Selection Through Student’s ${t}$ Mixtures Model. IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems, 29(4), 1187-1199. https://doi.org/10.1109/tnnls.2016.2619061
In this paper, we proposed a generative model for feature selection under the unsupervised learning context. The model assumes that data are independently and identically samp...
