Spherical clustering in detection of groups of concomitant extremes
用于识别共同极端事件群组的球面聚类
Summary There is growing empirical evidence that spherical $k$-means clustering performs well at identifying groups of concomitant extremes in high dimensions, thereby leading to sparse models. We provide one of the first theoretical results supporting this approach, but also demonstrate some pitfalls. Furthermore, we show that an alternative cost function may be more appropriate for identifying concomitant extremes, and it results in a novel spherical $k$-principal-component…
