No, Generalized Method of Moments, sorry, too much econometrics context.
Generalized Method of Moments GMM is an generic estimation method
similar to maximum likelihood or matching moments that has a very wide
range of applications, but in contrast to MLE uses much less
distributional information.

It's dangerous to use acronyms because often they mean different
things in different fields.

Gaussian Mixture Models GMM are more the domain of scikits.learn with
David C's EM code.
