A novel elastic time distance for sparse multivariate functional data is proposed and used to develop a robust distance-based two-layer partition clustering method. With this proposed distance, the new approach not only can detect correct…

In this paper, we analyze electroencephalograms (EEG) which are recordings of brain electrical activity. We develop new clustering methods for identifying synchronized brain regions, where the EEGs show similar oscillations or waveforms…

A measure of distance between two clusterings has important applications, including clustering validation and ensemble clustering. Generally, such distance measure provides navigation through the space of possible clusterings. Mostly used…

The idea to estimate the statistical interdependence among (interacting) brain regions has motivated numerous researchers to investigate how the resulting connectivity patterns and networks may organize themselves under any conceivable…

We study the topological properties of functional connectivity patterns among cortical areas in the frequency domain. The cortical networks were estimated from high-resolution EEG recordings in a group of spinal cord injured patients and in…

Hierarchical Agglomerative Clustering (HAC) is a widely-used clustering method based on repeatedly merging the closest pair of clusters, where inter-cluster distances are determined by a linkage function. Unlike many clustering methods, HAC…

Functional data clustering is to identify heterogeneous morphological patterns in the continuous functions underlying the discrete measurements/observations. Application of functional data clustering has appeared in many publications across…

We propose a new notion called `extremal depth' (ED) for functional data, discuss its properties, and compare its performance with existing concepts. The proposed notion is based on a measure of extreme `outlyingness'. ED has several…

Model-based clustering is widely-used in a variety of application areas. However, fundamental concerns remain about robustness. In particular, results can be sensitive to the choice of kernel representing the within-cluster data density.…

A novel non-parametric estimator of the correlation between grouped measurements of a quantity is proposed in the presence of noise. This work is primarily motivated by functional brain network construction from fMRI data, where brain…

Objective: In recent years, the functional connectivity of the human brain has been studied with graph theoretical tools. One such approach is community detection which is fundamental for uncovering the localized networks. Existing methods…

Brain connectivity can be estimated through a wide number of analyses applied to electroencephalographic (EEG) data. However, substantial heterogeneity in the implementation of connectivity methods exist. Heterogeneity in conceptualization…

In this article, a new method, called FWP, is proposed for clustering longitudinal curves. In the proposed method, clusters of mean functions are identified through a weighted concave pairwise fusion method. The EM algorithm and the…

Many smart grid applications involve data mining, clustering, classification, identification, and anomaly detection, among others. These applications primarily depend on the measurement of similarity, which is the distance between different…

Based on an expert systems approach, the issue of community detection can be conceptualized as a clustering model for networks. Building upon this further, community structure can be measured through a clustering coefficient, which is…

Research into binary network analysis of brain function faces a methodological challenge in selecting an appropriate threshold to binarise edge weights. For EEG phase-based functional connectivity, we test the hypothesis that such…

Studies in recent years have demonstrated that neural organization and structure impact an individual's ability to perform a given task. Specifically, individuals with greater neural efficiency have been shown to outperform those with less…

Many clustering algorithms when the data are curves or functions have been recently proposed. However, the presence of contamination in the sample of curves can influence the performance of most of them. In this work we propose a robust,…

We present two methods for detecting patterns and clusters in high dimensional time-dependent functional data. Our methods are based on wavelet-based similarity measures, since wavelets are well suited for identifying highly discriminant…

This paper presents a clustering technique that reduces the susceptibility to data noise by learning and clustering the data-distribution and then assigning the data to the cluster of its distribution. In the process, it reduces the impact…
