Joint Clustering and Matching of Multivariate Samples Across Objects


Giovedì 11 settembre 2014 ore 11
aula III Via Belle Arti 41, Bologna



Abstract

We present a widely applicable mixture model-based framework for the simultaneous clustering of multivariate samples observed
on objects in a class and the matching of the object clusters. This statistical approach obviates the post-clustering need to match
the object clusters since the matching is done during the fitting of the overall mixture model, which can be used as template
for the class distribution.  It thus provides a basis for discriminating between different classes in addition to the
identification of anomalous events within a sample and a class. Key applications include image analysis and the automated analysis
of data in flow cytometry which is one of the fundamental research tools for the life scientist.
