Assessing a mixture model for clustering with the integrated completed likelihood

Biernacki, C., Celeux, G., Govaert, G.·2000·IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence

Abstract

We propose an assessing method of mixture model in a cluster analysis setting with integrated completed likelihood. For this purpose, the observed data are assigned to unknown clusters using a maximum a posteriori operator. Then, the integrated completed likelihood (ICL) is approximated using the Bayesian information criterion (BIC). Numerical experiments on simulated and real data of the resulting ICL criterion show that it performs well both for choosing a mixture model and a relevant number of clusters. In particular, ICL appears to be more robust than BIC to violation of some of the mixture model assumptions and it can select a number of dusters leading to a sensible partitioning of the data.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
