RT info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPart T1 Fuzzy Clustering Throug Robust Factor Analyzers A1 García Escudero, Luis Ángel A1 Greselin, Francesca A1 Mayo Iscar, Agustín K1 Statistics AB In fuzzy clustering, data elements can belong to more than one cluster , and membership levels are associated with each element, to indicate the strength of the association between that data element and a particular cluster. Unfortunately, fuzzy clustering is not robust, while in real applications the data is contaminated by outliers and noise, and the assumed underlying Gaussian distributions could be unrealistic. Here we propose a robust fuzzy estimator for clustering through Factor Analyzers, by introducing the joint usage of trimming and of constrained estimation of noise matrices in the classic Maximum Likelihood approach.
