In method _compute_lower_bound of mixture.bayesian_mixture.py all the terms that should be in the lower bound aren't there.
That's normal for constant terms but for the others is there an explanation ?

(The formula in Bishop book is :

lower_bound_formula
)

If I remember well, this formula is follow by a text saying that a lot of simplifications can be done and are left as exercice.

If you want to have a look to the developed formula of the Bayesian mixtures used in bayesian_mixture.py, you will find all the details in #7284.

Here, you can find a rendered version of the PR (maybe not the last version).

If someone want to check formulas, it would be a huge contribution :).
