In this study, we examine a clustering problem in which the covariates of each individual element in a dataset are associated with an uncertainty specific to that element. More specifically, we consider a clustering approach in which a…
Mixture models extend the toolbox of clustering methods available to the data analyst. They allow for an explicit definition of the cluster shapes and structure within a probabilistic framework and exploit estimation and inference…
Spectral clustering is a powerful method for finding structure in a dataset through the eigenvectors of a similarity matrix. It often outperforms traditional clustering algorithms such as $k$-means when the structure of the individual…
Multi-sensor data that track system operating behaviors are widely available nowadays from various engineering systems. Measurements from each sensor over time form a curve and can be viewed as functional data. Clustering of these…
