Clustering risk in nonparametric hidden Markov and I.I.D. models
非参数隐马尔可夫与独立同分布模型中的聚类风险
We conduct an in-depth analysis of the Bayes risk of clustering in the context of hidden Markov and i.i.d. models. In both settings, we identify the situations where this risk is comparable to the Bayes risk of classification and those where its minimizer, the Bayes clusterer, can be derived from the Bayes classifier. While we demonstrate that clustering based on the Bayes classifier does not always match the optimal Bayes clusterer, we show that this difference is primarily…
