%GMMINIT Initialises Gaussian mixture model from data
%(Renamed NETLABGMMINIT in MIRtoolbox to avoid conflict with statistics
%toolbox)
%	Description
%	MIX = GMMINIT(MIX, X, OPTIONS) uses a dataset X to initialise the
%	parameters of a Gaussian mixture model defined by the data structure
%	MIX.  The k-means algorithm is used to determine the centres. The
%	priors are computed from the proportion of examples belonging to each
%	cluster. The covariance matrices are calculated as the sample
%	covariance of the points associated with (i.e. closest to) the
%	corresponding centres. For a mixture of PPCA model, the PPCA
%	decomposition is calculated for the points closest to a given centre.
%	This initialisation can be used as the starting point for training
%	the model using the EM algorithm.
