SingleGaussian
streaming mode | Statistics category
Inputs
- matrix (matrix_real) - the input data matrix (e.g. the MFCC descriptor over frames)
Outputs
- mean (vector_real) - the mean of the values
- covariance (matrix_real) - the covariance matrix
- inverseCovariance (matrix_real) - the inverse of the covariance matrix
Description
This algorithm estimates the single gaussian distribution for a matrix of feature vectors. For example, using the single gaussian on descriptors like MFCC with the symmetric Kullback-Leibler divergence might be a much better option than just the mean and variance of the descriptors over a whole signal.
An exception is thrown if the covariance of the input matrix is singular or if the input matrix is empty.
