  • Gaussian parsimonious clustering models with covariates and a noise
           component
    • Abstract: We consider model-based clustering methods for continuous, correlated data that account for external information available in the presence of mixed-type fixed covariates by proposing the MoEClust suite of models. These models allow different subsets of covariates to influence the component weights and/or component densities by modelling the parameters of the mixture as functions of the covariates. A familiar range of constrained eigen-decomposition parameterisations of the component covariance matrices are also accommodated. This paper thus addresses the equivalent aims of including covariates in Gaussian parsimonious clustering models and incorporating parsimonious covariance structures into all special cases of the Gaussian mixture of experts framework. The MoEClust models demonstrate significant improvement from both perspectives in applications to both univariate and multivariate data sets. Novel extensions to include a uniform noise component for capturing outliers and to address initialisation of the EM algorithm, model selection, and the visualisation of results are also proposed.

  • Familywise decompositions of Pearson’s chi-square statistic in the
           analysis of contingency tables
    • Abstract: Pearson’s chi-square statistic is well established for testing goodness-of-fit of various hypotheses about observed frequency distributions in contingency tables. A general formula for ANOVA-like decompositions of Pearson’s statistic is given under the independence assumption along with their extensions to higher-order tables. Mathematically, it makes the terms in the partitions and orthogonality among them obvious. Practically, it enables simultaneous analyses of marginal and joint probabilities in contingency tables under a variety of hypotheses about the marginal probabilities. Specifically, this framework accommodates the specification of theoretically driven probabilities as well as the well known cases in which the marginal probabilities are fixed or estimated from the data. The former allows tests of prescribed marginal probabilities, while the latter allows tests of the associations among variables after eliminating the marginal effects. Mixtures of these two cases are also permitted. Examples are given to illustrate the tests.

  • Greedy Gaussian segmentation of multivariate time series
    • Abstract: We consider the problem of breaking a multivariate (vector) time series into segments over which the data is well explained as independent samples from a Gaussian distribution. We formulate this as a covariance-regularized maximum likelihood problem, which can be reduced to a combinatorial optimization problem of searching over the possible breakpoints, or segment boundaries. This problem can be solved using dynamic programming, with complexity that grows with the square of the time series length. We propose a heuristic method that approximately solves the problem in linear time with respect to this length, and always yields a locally optimal choice, in the sense that no change of any one breakpoint improves the objective. Our method, which we call greedy Gaussian segmentation (GGS), easily scales to problems with vectors of dimension over 1000 and time series of arbitrary length. We discuss methods that can be used to validate such a model using data, and also to automatically choose appropriate values of the two hyperparameters in the method. Finally, we illustrate our GGS approach on financial time series and Wikipedia text data.

  • Directional co-clustering
    • Abstract: Co-clustering addresses the problem of simultaneous clustering of both dimensions of a data matrix. When dealing with high dimensional sparse data, co-clustering turns out to be more beneficial than one-sided clustering even if one is interested in clustering along one dimension only. Aside from being high dimensional and sparse, some datasets, such as document-term matrices, exhibit directional characteristics, and the \(L_2\) normalization of such data, so that it lies on the surface of a unit hypersphere, is useful. Popular co-clustering assumptions such as Gaussian or Multinomial are inadequate for this type of data. In this paper, we extend the scope of co-clustering to directional data. We present Diagonal Block Mixture of Von Mises–Fisher distributions (dbmovMFs), a co-clustering model which is well suited for directional data lying on a unit hypersphere. By setting the estimate of the model parameters under the maximum likelihood (ML) and classification ML approaches, we develop a class of EM algorithms for estimating dbmovMFs from data. Extensive experiments, on several real-world datasets, confirm the advantage of our approach and demonstrate the effectiveness of our algorithms.

  • Generalised linear model trees with global additive effects
    • Abstract: Model-based trees are used to find subgroups in data which differ with respect to model parameters. In some applications it is natural to keep some parameters fixed globally for all observations while asking if and how other parameters vary across subgroups. Existing implementations of model-based trees can only deal with the scenario where all parameters depend on the subgroups. We propose partially additive linear model trees (PALM trees) as an extension of (generalised) linear model trees (LM and GLM trees, respectively), in which the model parameters are specified a priori to be estimated either globally from all observations or locally from the observations within the subgroups determined by the tree. Simulations show that the method has high power for detecting subgroups in the presence of global effects and reliably recovers the true parameters. Furthermore, treatment–subgroup differences are detected in an empirical application of the method to data from a mathematics exam: the PALM tree is able to detect a small subgroup of students that had a disadvantage in an exam with two versions while adjusting for overall ability effects.

  • On support vector machines under a multiple-cost scenario
    • Abstract: Support vector machine (SVM) is a powerful tool in binary classification, known to attain excellent misclassification rates. On the other hand, many realworld classification problems, such as those found in medical diagnosis, churn or fraud prediction, involve misclassification costs which may be different in the different classes. However, it may be hard for the user to provide precise values for such misclassification costs, whereas it may be much easier to identify acceptable misclassification rates values. In this paper we propose a novel SVM model in which misclassification costs are considered by incorporating performance constraints in the problem formulation. Specifically, our aim is to seek the hyperplane with maximal margin yielding misclassification rates below given threshold values. Such maximal margin hyperplane is obtained by solving a quadratic convex problem with linear constraints and integer variables. The reported numerical experience shows that our model gives the user control on the misclassification rates in one class (possibly at the expense of an increase in misclassification rates for the other class) and is feasible in terms of running times.

  • Subspace clustering for the finite mixture of generalized hyperbolic
           distributions
    • Abstract: The finite mixture of generalized hyperbolic distributions is a flexible model for clustering, but its large number of parameters for estimation, especially in high dimensions, can make it computationally expensive to work with. In light of this issue, we provide an extension of the subspace clustering technique developed for finite Gaussian mixtures to that of generalized hyperbolic distribution. The methodology will be demonstrated with numerical experiments.

  • Variable selection in discriminant analysis for mixed continuous-binary
           variables and several groups
    • Abstract: We propose a method for variable selection in discriminant analysis with mixed continuous and binary variables. This method is based on a criterion that permits to reduce the variable selection problem to a problem of estimating suitable permutation and dimensionality. Then, estimators for these parameters are proposed and the resulting method for selecting variables is shown to be consistent. A simulation study that permits to study several properties of the proposed approach and to compare it with an existing method is given, and an example on a real data set is provided.

  • Investigating consumers’ store-choice behavior via hierarchical
           variable selection
    • Abstract: This paper is concerned with a store-choice model for investigating consumers’ store-choice behavior based on scanner panel data. Our store-choice model enables us to evaluate the effects of the consumer/product attributes not only on the consumer’s store choice but also on his/her purchase quantity. Moreover, we adopt a mixed-integer optimization (MIO) approach to selecting the best set of explanatory variables with which to construct the store-choice model. We devise two MIO models for hierarchical variable selection in which the hierarchical structure of product categories is used to enhance the reliability and computational efficiency of the variable selection. We assess the effectiveness of our MIO models through computational experiments on actual scanner panel data. These experiments are focused on the consumer’s choice among three types of stores in Japan: convenience stores, drugstores, and (grocery) supermarkets. The computational results demonstrate that our method has several advantages over the common methods for variable selection, namely, the stepwise method and \(L_1\) -regularized regression. Furthermore, our analysis reveals that convenience stores are most strongly chosen for gift cards and garbage disposal permits, drugstores are most strongly chosen for products that are specific to drugstores, and supermarkets are most strongly chosen for health food products by women with families.

  • A two-stage sparse logistic regression for optimal gene selection in
           high-dimensional microarray data classification
    • Abstract: The common issues of high-dimensional gene expression data are that many of the genes may not be relevant, and there exists a high correlation among genes. Gene selection has been proven to be an effective way to improve the results of many classification methods. Sparse logistic regression using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (lasso) or using smoothly clipped absolute deviation is one of the most widely applicable methods in cancer classification for gene selection. However, this method faces a critical challenge in practical applications when there are high correlations among genes. To address this problem, a two-stage sparse logistic regression is proposed, with the aim of obtaining an efficient subset of genes with high classification capabilities by combining the screening approach as a filter method and adaptive lasso with a new weight as an embedded method. In the first stage, sure independence screening method as a screening approach retains those genes representing high individual correlation with the cancer class level. In the second stage, the adaptive lasso with new weight is implemented to address the existence of high correlations among the screened genes in the first stage. Experimental results based on four publicly available gene expression datasets have shown that the proposed method significantly outperforms three state-of-the-art methods in terms of classification accuracy, G-mean, area under the curve, and stability. In addition, the results demonstrate that the top selected genes are biologically related to the cancer type. Thus, the proposed method can be useful for cancer classification using DNA gene expression data in real clinical practice.

  • Bayesian nonstationary Gaussian process models via treed process
           convolutions
    • Abstract: The Gaussian process is a common model in a wide variety of applications, such as environmental modeling, computer experiments, and geology. Two major challenges often arise: First, assuming that the process of interest is stationary over the entire domain often proves to be untenable. Second, the traditional Gaussian process model formulation is computationally inefficient for large datasets. In this paper, we propose a new Gaussian process model to tackle these problems based on the convolution of a smoothing kernel with a partitioned latent process. Nonstationarity can be modeled by allowing a separate latent process for each partition, which approximates a regional clustering structure. Partitioning follows a binary tree generating process similar to that of Classification and Regression Trees. A Bayesian approach is used to estimate the partitioning structure and model parameters simultaneously. Our motivating dataset consists of 11918 precipitation anomalies. Results show that our model has promising prediction performance and is computationally efficient for large datasets.

  • Regression trees for detecting preference patterns from rank data
    • Abstract: A regression tree method for analyzing rank data is proposed. A key ingredient of the methodology is to convert ranks into scores by paired comparison. We then utilize the GUIDE tree method on the score vectors to identify the preference patterns in the data. This method is exempt from selection bias and the simulation results show that it is good with respect to the selection of split variables and has a better prediction accuracy than the two other investigated methods in some cases. Furthermore, it is applicable to complex data which may contain incomplete ranks and missing covariate values. We demonstrate its usefulness in two real data studies.

  • Connecting the multivariate partial least squares with canonical analysis:
           a path-following approach
    • Abstract: Despite the fact that the regularisation of multivariate methods is a well-known and widely used statistical procedure, very few studies have considered it from the perspective of analytic matrix decomposition. Here, we introduce a link between one variant of partial least squares (PLS) and canonical correlation analysis (CCA) for multiple groups, as well as two groups covered as a special case. A continuation algorithm based on the implicit function theorem is selected, with particular attention paid to potential non-generic points based on real economic data inputs. Both degenerated crossings and multiple eigenvalues are identified on the paths. The theory of Chebyshev polynomials is applied in order to generate novel insights into the phenomenon simply generalisable to a variety of other techniques.

  • A robust approach to model-based classification based on trimming and
           constraints
    • Abstract: In a standard classification framework a set of trustworthy learning data are employed to build a decision rule, with the final aim of classifying unlabelled units belonging to the test set. Therefore, unreliable labelled observations, namely outliers and data with incorrect labels, can strongly undermine the classifier performance, especially if the training size is small. The present work introduces a robust modification to the Model-Based Classification framework, employing impartial trimming and constraints on the ratio between the maximum and the minimum eigenvalue of the group scatter matrices. The proposed method effectively handles noise presence in both response and exploratory variables, providing reliable classification even when dealing with contaminated datasets. A robust information criterion is proposed for model selection. Experiments on real and simulated data, artificially adulterated, are provided to underline the benefits of the proposed method.

  • Seemingly unrelated clusterwise linear regression
    • Abstract: Linear regression models based on finite Gaussian mixtures represent a flexible tool for the analysis of linear dependencies in multivariate data. They are suitable for dealing with correlated response variables when data come from a heterogeneous population composed of two or more sub-populations, each of which is characterised by a different linear regression model. Several types of finite mixtures of linear regression models have been specified by changing the assumptions on the parameters that differentiate the sub-populations and/or the vectors of regressors that affect the response variables. They are made more flexible in the class of models defined by mixtures of seemingly unrelated Gaussian linear regressions illustrated in this paper. With these models, the researcher is enabled to use a different vector of regressors for each dependent variable. The proposed class includes parsimonious models obtained by imposing suitable constraints on the variances and covariances of the response variables in the sub-populations. Details about the model identification and maximum likelihood estimation are given. The usefulness of these models is shown through the analysis of a real dataset. Regularity conditions for the model class are illustrated and a proof is provided that, when these conditions are met, the consistency of the maximum likelihood estimator under the examined models is ensured. In addition, the behaviour of this estimator in the presence of finite samples is numerically evaluated through the analysis of simulated datasets.

  • Classification using sequential order statistics
    • Abstract: Whereas discrimination methods and their error probabilities were broadly investigated for common data distributions such as the multivariate normal or t-distributions, this paper considers the case when the recorded data are assumed to be observations from sequential order statistics. Random vectors of sequential order statistics describe, e.g., successive failures in a k-out-of-n system or in other coherent and load sharing systems allowing for changes of underlying lifetime distributions caused by component failures. Within this framework, the Bayesian two-class discrimination approach with known prior probabilities and class parameters is considered, and exact and asymptotic formulas for the error probabilities in terms of Erlang and hypoexponential distributions are derived. Since the Bayesian classifier is closely related to Kullback–Leibler’s information distance, this approach is extended by invoking other divergence measures such as Jeffreys and Rényi’s distance. While exact formulas for the misclassification rates of the resulting distance-based classifiers are not available, inequalities among the corresponding error probabilities are derived. The performance of the applied classifiers is illustrated by some simulation results.

  • Optimal arrangements of hyperplanes for SVM-based multiclass
           classification
    • Abstract: In this paper, we present a novel SVM-based approach to construct multiclass classifiers by means of arrangements of hyperplanes. We propose different mixed integer (linear and non linear) programming formulations for the problem using extensions of widely used measures for misclassifying observations where the kernel trick can be adapted to be applicable. Some dimensionality reductions and variable fixing strategies are also developed for these models. An extensive battery of experiments has been run which reveal the powerfulness of our proposal as compared with other previously proposed methodologies.

  • How well do SEM algorithms imitate EM algorithms' A non-asymptotic
           analysis for mixture models
    • Abstract: In this paper, we present a theoretical and an experimental comparison of EM and SEM algorithms for different mixture models. The SEM algorithm is a stochastic variant of the EM algorithm. The qualitative intuition behind the SEM algorithm is simple: If the number of observations is large enough, then we expect that an update step of the stochastic SEM algorithm is similar to the corresponding update step of the deterministic EM algorithm. In this paper, we quantify this intuition. We show that with high probability the update equations of any EM-like algorithm and its stochastic variant are similar, given that the input set satisfies certain properties. For instance, this result applies to the well-known EM and SEM algorithm for Gaussian mixture models and EM-like and SEM-like heuristics for multivariate power exponential distributions. Our experiments confirm that our theoretical results also hold for a large number of successive update steps. Thereby we complement the known asymptotic results for the SEM algorithm. We also show that, for multivariate Gaussian and multivariate Laplacian mixture models, an update step of SEM runs nearly twice as fast as an EM update set.

  • A fragmented-periodogram approach for clustering big data time series
    • Abstract: We propose and study a new frequency-domain procedure for characterizing and comparing large sets of long time series. Instead of using all the information available from data, which would be computationally very expensive, we propose some regularization rules in order to select and summarize the most relevant information for clustering purposes. Essentially, we suggest to use a fragmented periodogram computed around the driving cyclical components of interest and to compare the various estimates. This procedure is computationally simple, but able to condense relevant information of the time series. A simulation exercise shows that the smoothed fragmented periodogram works in general better than the non-smoothed one and not worse than the complete periodogram for medium to large sample sizes. We illustrate this procedure in a study of the evolution of several stock markets indices. We further show the effect of recent financial crises over these indices behaviour.
