Torus data are multivariate circular observations that arise as measurements on a periodic scale and are often recorded as angles or directions. In this paper, a model based clustering technique for torus data is built on the mclust approach. Therefore, covariance constraints are imposed on the completely general heterogeneous clustering model allowing a flexible and general framework to clustering torus data. The methodology is based on unwrapping the torus data to linear data.

摘要

Torus data are multivariate circular observations that arise as measurements on a periodic scale and are often recorded as angles or directions. In this paper, a model based clustering technique for torus data is built on the mclust approach. Therefore, covariance constraints are imposed on the completely general heterogeneous clustering model allowing a flexible and general framework to clustering torus data. The methodology is based on unwrapping the torus data to linear data.
