Minimum classification error (MCE) rate method is the most straightforward criterion for HMM training. Inprinciple, it is much better than the maximum likelihood method.

最小错识率(MCE) HMM训练方法是最直接的判决训练方法之一，原理上比最大似然接方法优越得多。

Using maximum likelihood criterion in clustering algorithms, the clusters have spherical or ellipsoidal receptive fields and match the distributes of patterns better.

采用最大似然准则的聚类算法其类别接受域为球形或椭球形，可以与模式的分布匹配更好。
