I have thought that even the feature is increase, the performance increase isn't it?

For example if we have color skin, eye and hair, it gives more performance for face recognition than situation than if we just have eye color.

That's why I am so confused about GMM where even the size of feature decrease the probability is increased. Suppose that following Matlab code:

train=[1 2 1 2 1 2 100 101 102 99 100 101 1000 1001 999 1003];

No_of_Iterations=10;

No_of_Clusters=3;

[mm,vv,ww]=gaussmix(train,[],No_of_Iterations,No_of_Clusters);

test1=[1 1 1 2 2 2 100 100 100 101 1000 1000 1000];

test2=[1 1 2 2 100 99 1000 999];

test3=[1 100 1000];

[lp,rp,kh,kp]=gaussmixp(test1,mm,vv,ww);

sum(lp)

[lp,rp,kh,kp]=gaussmixp(test2,mm,vv,ww);

sum(lp)

[lp,rp,kh,kp]=gaussmixp(test3,mm,vv,ww);

sum(lp)

The results are as follow :

ans =

-8.0912e+05

ans =

-8.1782e+05

ans =

-5.0381e+05

Why does the feature size decrease as the probability increases? I expect that with more feature the performance increases isn't it?
