This paper presents a comparative analysis of the performance of three estimation algorithms Expectation Maximization (EM), Greedy EM Algorithm (GEM) and Figueiredo-Jain Algorithm (FJ) based Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) for text-independent speech biometrics verification. The simulation results are showed significant performance achievements. The test performance of, EER=0.26 % for “EM”, EER=0.21 % for “GEM” and EER=0.16 % for “FJ”, show that the behavioral information scheme of speech biometrics is more robust and have a discriminating power, which can be explored for identity authentication.}, }
