Reviews / Votes
"This book can be taken as a review of the subject. It is also a very good starting point for understanding mixture modeling and even for setting up new research. I strongly recommend this work for researchers and advanced undergraduate and graduate students of computer science and applied probability." (Arturo Ortiz-Tapia, Computing Reviews, January 18, 2021)
