%0 Journal Article %T VC dimension of ellipsoids %A Yohji Akama %A Kei Irie %J Computer Science %D 2011 %I arXiv %X We will establish that the VC dimension of the class of d-dimensional ellipsoids is (d^2+3d)/2, and that maximum likelihood estimate with N-component d-dimensional Gaussian mixture models induces a geometric class having VC dimension at least N(d^2+3d)/2. Keywords: VC dimension; finite dimensional ellipsoid; Gaussian mixture model %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1109.4347v1
