Functional Sparse Data Clustering Using Conditional Expectation PACE Method
摘要
This article introduces a novel methodology for performing univariate and multivariate functional clustering analysis (FCA) on sparse data. The approach aims to address data sparsity by reconstructing missing functional data using the Conditional Expectation (PACE) method. The FCA algorithm uses the EM (Expectation-Maximization) method and incorporates the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) for model validation. An application on real functional data is also shown.
