Description

The two notebooks are covering exactly the same issue.

They seem short enough that we could use the same dataset and show one after the other. This way we also get a chance to nudge users to try the marginalized mixture, which usually works better.

Research direction

Compare the Gaussian mixture model and marginalized Gaussian mixture model notebooks at the two linked documentation URLs. Start by reviewing their datasets, narrative flow, and model demonstrations; done means the overlapping material is combined into one coherent notebook while still showing the marginalized mixture and its benefits.
