RT info:eu-repo/semantics/preprint T1 Exploring the number of groups in robust model-based clustering A1 García Escudero, Luis Ángel A1 Gordaliza Ramos, Alfonso A1 Matrán Bea, Carlos A1 Mayo Iscar, Agustín A2 Universidad de Valladolid K1 Estadística AB Two key questions in Clustering problems are how to determine the number ofgroups properly and measure the strength of group-assignments. These questions arespecially involved when the presence of certain fraction of outlying data is also expected.Any answer to these two key questions should depend on the assumed probabilistic-model, the allowed group scatters and what we understand by noise. With this inmind, some exploratory \trimming-based" tools are presented in this work togetherwith their justi cations. The monitoring of optimal values reached when solving arobust clustering criteria and the use of some "discriminant" factors are the basis for these exploratory tools.
