Learn about mixture models and the EM algorithm(Caution, this is my own quick-and-dirty tutorial, see the references at the end for presentations by professional statisticians.)
[math]\displaystyle{ f(x_i/\theta) = \sum_{k=1}^{K} w_k g(x_i/\mu_k,\sigma_k) = \sum_{k=1}^{K} w_k \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi} \sigma_k} \exp \left(-\frac{1}{2}(\frac{x_i - \mu_k}{\sigma_k})^2 \right) }[/math] The constraints are: [math]\displaystyle{ \forall k, w_k \gt 0 }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \sum_{k=1}^K w_k = 1 }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ p(k/i) = P(Z_i=k/x_i,\theta) = \frac{w_k g(x_i/\mu_k,\sigma_k)}{\sum_{l=1}^K w_l g(x_i/\mu_l,\sigma_l)} }[/math] We can now write the complete likelihood, ie. the likelihood of the augmented model, assuming all observations are independent: [math]\displaystyle{ L_{comp}(\theta) = P(X,Z/\theta) = P(X/Z,\theta) P(Z/\theta) = \left( \prod_{i=1}^N \sum_{k=1}^K \mathbf{1}_{\{z_i=k\}} g(x_i/\mu_k,\sigma_k) \right) \prod_{i=1}^N P(Z_i/\theta) }[/math]. And also the incomplete (or marginal) likelihood: [math]\displaystyle{ L_{incomp}(\theta) = P(X/\theta) = \prod_{i=1}^N f(x_i/\theta) }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ l(\theta) = log(L_{incomp}(\theta)) = \sum_{i=1}^N log(f(x_i/\theta)) = \sum_{i=1}^N log \left( \sum_{k=1}^{K} w_k \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi} \sigma_k} \exp \left( -\frac{1}{2}(\frac{x_i - \mu_k}{\sigma_k})^2 \right) \right) }[/math]
[math]\displaystyle{ \frac{\partial l(\theta)}{\partial \mu_k} = \sum_{i=1}^N \frac{1}{f(x_i/\theta)} \frac{\partial f(x_i/\theta)}{\partial \mu_k} }[/math] As we derive with respect to [math]\displaystyle{ \mu_k }[/math], all the others means [math]\displaystyle{ \mu_l }[/math] with [math]\displaystyle{ l \ne k }[/math] are constant, and thus disappear: [math]\displaystyle{ \frac{\partial f(x_i/\theta)}{\partial \mu_k} = w_k \frac{\partial g(x_i/\mu_k,\sigma_k)}{\partial \mu_k} }[/math] And finally: [math]\displaystyle{ \frac{\partial g(x_i/\mu_k,\sigma_k)}{\partial \mu_k} = \frac{\mu_k - x_i}{\sigma_k^2} g(x_i/\mu_k,\sigma_k) }[/math] Once we put all together, we end up with: [math]\displaystyle{ \frac{\partial l(\theta)}{\partial \mu_k} = \sum_{i=1}^N \frac{1}{\sigma^2} \frac{w_k g(x_i/\mu_k,\sigma_k)}{\sum_{l=1}^K w_l g(x_i/\mu_l,\sigma_l)} (\mu_k - x_i) = \sum_{i=1}^N \frac{1}{\sigma^2} p(k/i) (\mu_k - x_i) }[/math] By convention, we note [math]\displaystyle{ \hat{\mu_k} }[/math] the maximum-likelihood estimate of [math]\displaystyle{ \mu_k }[/math]: [math]\displaystyle{ \frac{\partial l(\theta)}{\partial \mu_k}_{\mu_k=\hat{\mu_k}} = 0 }[/math] Therefore, we finally obtain: [math]\displaystyle{ \hat{\mu_k} = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^N p(k/i) x_i}{\sum_{i=1}^N p(k/i)} }[/math] By doing the same kind of algebra, we derive the log-likelihood w.r.t. [math]\displaystyle{ \sigma_k }[/math]: [math]\displaystyle{ \frac{\partial l(\theta)}{\partial \sigma_k} = \sum_{i=1}^N p(k/i) (\frac{-1}{\sigma_k} + \frac{(x_i - \mu_k)^2}{\sigma_k^3}) }[/math] And then we obtain the ML estimates for the standard deviation of each cluster: [math]\displaystyle{ \hat{\sigma_k} = \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^N p(k/i) (x_i - \mu_k)^2}{\sum_{i=1}^N p(k/i)}} }[/math] The partial derivative of [math]\displaystyle{ l(\theta) }[/math] w.r.t. [math]\displaystyle{ w_k }[/math] is tricky because of the constraints on the [math]\displaystyle{ w_k }[/math]. But we can handle it by writing them in terms of unconstrained variables [math]\displaystyle{ \gamma_k }[/math] (softmax function): [math]\displaystyle{ w_k = \frac{e^{\gamma_k}}{\sum_{k=1}^K e^{\gamma_k}} }[/math] [math]\displaystyle{ \frac{\partial w_k}{\partial \gamma_j} = \begin{cases} w_k - w_k^2 & \mbox{if }j = k \\ -w_kw_j & \mbox{otherwise} \end{cases} }[/math] [math]\displaystyle{ \frac{\partial l(\theta)}{\partial w_k} = \sum_{i=1}^N (p(k/i) - w_k) }[/math] Finally, here are the ML estimates for the mixture weights: [math]\displaystyle{ \hat{w}_k = \frac{1}{N} \sum_{i=1}^N p(k/i) }[/math]
