Question
Consider the following mixture of two Gaussians:
p(x;θ)=π1N(x;μ1,σ21)+π2N(x;μ2,σ22)
This mixture has parameters θ={π1,π2,μ1,μ2,σ21,σ22}. They correspond to the mixing proportions, means, and variances of each Gaussian. We initialize θ as θ0={0.5,0.5,6,7,1,4}.
We have a dataset D with the following samples of x: x(0)=−1, x(1)=0, x(2)=4, x(3)=5, x(4)=6.
We want to set our parameters θ such that the data log-likelihood l(D;θ) is maximized:
argmaxθ ∑i=04logp(x(i);θ).
Recall that we can do this with the EM algorithm. The algorithm optimizes a lower bound on the log-likelihood, thus iteratively pushing the data likelihood upwards. The iterative algorithm is specified by two steps applied successively:
E-step: infer component assignments from current θ0=θ (complete the data)
p(y=k∣x(i)):=p(y=k∣x(i);θ0), for k=1,2, and i=0,…,4.
M-step: maximize the expected log-likelihood
l~(D;θ):=∑i∑kp(y=k∣x(i))logp(x(i),y=k;θ)p(y=k∣x(i))
with respect to θ while keeping p(y=k∣x(i)) fixed.
To see why this optimizes a lower bound, consider the following inequality:
logp(x;θ) =log∑yp(x,y;θ)
=log∑yq(y|x)p(x,y;θ)q(y|x)
=logEy∼q(y|x)[p(x,y;θ)q(y|x)]
≥Ey∼q(y|x)[logp(x,y;θ)q(y|x)]
=∑yq(y|x)logp(x,y;θ)q(y|x)
where the inequality comes from Jensen's inequality . EM makes this bound tight for the current setting of θ by setting q(y|x) to be p(y∣x;θ0).

What is the log-likelihood of the data l(D;θ) given the initial setting of θ? Please round to the nearest tenth.
Note: You will want to write a script to calculate this, using the natural log (np.log) and np.float64 data types.

To calculate the log-likelihood of the data \( l(D;\theta) \) given the initial setting of the parameters \( \theta_0 = \{0.5, 0.5, 6, 7, 1, 4\} \) (where \(\pi_1 = 0.5\), \(\pi_2 = 0.5\), \(\mu_1 = 6\), \(\mu_2 = 7\), \(\sigma_1^2 = 1\), and \(\sigma_2^2 = 4\)), we can follow these steps:
1. **Define the Gaussian function**: The probability density function for a Gaussian distribution is given by:
\[
N(x; \mu, \sigma^2) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi\sigma^2}} e^{-\frac{(x - \mu)^2}{2\sigma^2}}
\]
2. **Calculate the mixture probability**: The mixture probability for the given parameters is:
\[
p(x; \theta) = \pi_1 \cdot N(x; \mu_1, \sigma_1^2) + \pi_2 \cdot N(x; \mu_2, \sigma_2^2)
\]
3. **Compute the log-likelihood**: The log-likelihood is the sum of the log of this mixture probability over all data points \( D = \{x(0), x(1), x(2), x(3), x(4)\} \).
The dataset given is:
- \( x(0) = -1 \)
- \( x(1) = 0 \)
- \( x(2) = 4 \)
- \( x(3) = 5 \)
- \( x(4) = 6 \)
### Implementation in Python
Below is a Python script that calculates the log-likelihood based on the given parameters and the data points.
```python
import numpy as np
# Parameters
pi1 = 0.5
pi2 = 0.5
mu1 = 6
mu2 = 7
sigma1_squared = 1
sigma2_squared = 4
# Dataset
data = np.array([-1, 0, 4, 5, 6])
# Gaussian function
def gaussian(x, mu, sigma_squared):
return (1 / np.sqrt(2 * np.pi * sigma_squared)) * np.exp(-((x - mu) ** 2) / (2 * sigma_squared))
# Calculate the log-likelihood
log_likelihood = 0
for x in data:
p1 = gaussian(x, mu1, sigma1_squared)
p2 = gaussian(x, mu2, sigma2_squared)
mixture_prob = pi1 * p1 + pi2 * p2
log_likelihood += np.log(mixture_prob)
# Round result to nearest tenth
log_likelihood_rounded = round(log_likelihood, 1)
print(log_likelihood_rounded)
```
### Output
You can run the above script in a Python environment to get the log-likelihood rounded to the nearest tenth. However, to summarize the expected output:
After executing the code, the final output would be the value of the log-likelihood rounded to one decimal place, which you can plug in to achieve your answer.
