Clustering for binary data and mixture models—choice of the model

From MaRDI portal





The data \(x_i=(x_i^1,\dots,x_i^d)\), \(i=1,\dots,n\), \(x_i^j\in\{0,1\}\), are supposed to be an i.i.d. sample from the density \[ f(x)=\sum_{k=1}^K p_k\phi(x| a_k,\varepsilon_k),\;\;\phi(x| a_k,\varepsilon_k)=\prod_{j=1}^d (\varepsilon_{kj})^{| x^j-a_{kj}| }(1-\varepsilon_{kj})^{1-| x^j-a_{kj}| }, \] where \(a_{kj}\in\{0,1\}\), \(\varepsilon_{kj}\in(0,{1/2})\). The parameters \(p_k\), \(a_{kj}\), \(\varepsilon_{kj}\) are estimated by MLE using EM algorithm. Some criteria for selection of \(K\) are considered (Akaike information, BIC, normalized entropy). Results of Monte-Carlo simulations are presented which show that the Akaike information criterion performance is the best.
