Using Evidence of Mixed Populations to Select Variables for Clustering Very High-Dimensional Data
利用混合总体证据为超高维聚类选择变量
In this paper we develop a nonparametric approach to clustering very high-dimensional data, designed particularly for problems where the mixture nature of a population is expressed through multimodality of its density. Therefore, a technique based implicitly on mode testing can be particularly effective. In principle, several alternative approaches could be used to assess the extent of multimodality, but in the present problem the excess mass method has important advantages.…
