> Key: SPARK-17847
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-17847
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: ML, MLlib
> Reporter: Yanbo Liang
> Assignee: Yanbo Liang
>
> Copy {{GaussianMixture}} implementation from mllib to ml, then we can add new
> features to it.
> I left mllib {{GaussianMixture}} untouched, unlike some other algorithms to
> wrap the ml implementation. For the following reasons:
> * mllib {{GaussianMixture}} allow k == 1, but ml does not.
> * mllib {{GaussianMixture}} supports setting initial model, but ml does not
> support currently. (We will definitely add this feature for ml in the future)
> Meanwhile, There is a big performance improvement for {{GaussianMixture}} in
> this task. Since the covariance matrix of multivariate gaussian distribution
> is symmetric, we can only store the upper triangular part of the matrix and
> it will greatly reduce the shuffled data size.
