Simultaneous Two-Way Clustering of Multiple Correspondence Analysis.

چکیده
A 2-way clustering approach to multiple correspondence analysis is proposed to account for cluster-level heterogeneity of both respondents and variable categories in multivariate categorical data. Specifically, in the proposed method, multiple correspondence analysis is combined with k-means in a unified framework in which k-means is applied twice to partition the object scores of respondents and the weights of variable categories. In this way, joint clusters that relate a subgroup of respondents exclusively to a subset of variable categories are obtained. The proposed method provides a low-dimensional map of displaying variable category points and the centroids of joint clusters simultaneously. In addition, it offers joint-cluster memberships of variable categories as well as respondents. A Monte Carlo study is conducted to assess the parameter recovery capability of the proposed method based on synthetic data. An empirical application concerning Korean consumers' preferences toward various underwear brands and attributes is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method as compared with 2 relevant extant approaches.

Correspondence analysis followed by clustering of both rows and columns of a data matrix is proposed as an approach to two-way clustering. The novelty of this contribution consists of: i) proposing a simple method for the selecting of the number of axes; ii) visualizing the data matrix as is done in micro-array analysis; iii) enhancing this representation by emphasizing those variables and thos...

This paper presents computationally efficient object detection, matching and categorization via Agglomerative Correspondence Clustering (ACC). We implement ACC for feature correspondence and object-based image matching exploiting both photometric similarity and geometric consistency from local invariant features. Objectbased image matching is formulated here as an unsupervised multi-class clust...
