[jira] [Commented] (SPARK-6398) Improve utility of GaussianMixture for higher dimensional data

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-6398?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14623036#comment-14623036 ] 

Feynman Liang commented on SPARK-6398:
--------------------------------------

Possibly redundant with SPARK-7210? Dimensionality's primary contribution to the method's utility is the matrix inversion while calculating the pdf in the M-step, so a better inversion method will solve this issue as well.

> The current EM implementation for GaussianMixture protects itself from numerical instability at the expense of utility in high dimensions.  A few options exist for extending utility into higher dimensions.
