Abstract: Setting initial values of parameters of mixture distributions estimated by using the EM recursive algorithm is very important to the overall quality of estimation. None of the existing methods is suitable for mixtures with large number of components. We present a relevant methodology of estimating initial values of parameters of univariate, heteroscedastic Gaussian mixtures, on the basis of the dynamic programming algorithm for partitioning the range of observations into bins. We evaluate variants of dynamic programming method corresponding to different scoring functions for partitioning. For simulated and real datasets we demonstrate superior efficiency of the proposed method compared to existing techniques.
