Abstract

This chapter considers the problem of clustering non-Gaussian data with fixed bounds via recursive mixture estimation under the Bayesian methodology. Here a mixture of uniform distributions is taken, where individual clusters are described by mixture components. For the on-line detection of data clusters, the paper proposes a mixture estimation algorithm based on (i) the update of reproducible statistics of uniform components; (ii) the heuristic initialization via the method of moments; (iii) the non-trivial adaptive forgetting technique; (iv) the data-dependent dynamic pointer model. Results of validation experiments are presented.
