ABSTRACT:
A distributed data clustering system having an integrator and at least two computing units. Each computing unit is loaded with common global parameter values and a particular local data set. Each computing unit then generates local sufficient statistics based on the local data set and global parameter values. The integrator employs the local sufficient statistics of all the computing units to update the global parameter values.
