Robust Cluster Analysis via Mixture Models
Finite mixture models are being increasingly used to model the distributions of a wide variety of random phenomena and to cluster data sets. In this paper, we focus on the use of normal mixture models to cluster data sets of continuous multivariate data. As normality based methods of estimation are not robust, we review the use of t component distributions. With the t mixture model-based approa...
متن کاملMixture modelling for cluster analysis.
Cluster analysis via a finite mixture model approach is considered. With this approach to clustering, the data can be partitioned into a specified number of clusters g by first fitting a mixture model with g components. An outright clustering of the data is then obtained by assigning an observation to the component to which it has the highest estimated posterior probability of belonging; that i...
متن کاملAdaptive Methods for Spatial Scan Analysis via Semiparametric Mixture Models
Spatial scan density (SSD) estimation via mixture models is an important problem in the eld of spatial statistical analysis and has wide applications in image analysis. The “borrowed strength” density estimation (BSDE) method via mixturemodels enables one to estimate the local probability density function in a random eld wherein potential similarities between the density functions for the s...
متن کاملRoot selection in normal mixture models
Finite mixtures of normal distributions are attractive in identifying the underlying group structure in the data. However, it is a challenging task to do statistical inference in normal mixture models using the method of maximum likelihood, due to the unbounded likelihood and the existence of multiple roots to the likelihood equation including a so-called spurious root. In this article we propo...
متن کاملMMVar: Clustering Uncertain Objects via Minimization of the Variance of Cluster Mixture Models
A major issue in clustering uncertain objects is related to the poor efficiency of existing algorithms, which is mainly due to expensive computation of the distance between uncertain objects. This paper discusses how we addressed this issue through an original formulation of the problem of clustering uncertain objects based on the minimization of the variance of the mixture models that represen...
