dc.description.abstract | In this paper we present a model-based approach to the clustering of interval data building on recently proposed parametric models. These methods consider configurations for the variance-covariance matrix that take the nature of the interval data directly into account. The proposed framework relies on parametrizations considering the inherent variability of the relevant data units and the relation that may exist between this variability and the corresponding value levels. Using both synthetic and real data sets the pertinence of the proposed methodology is shown, as the method effectively selects heterocedastic models with restricted covariance structures when they are the most suitable, even in situations with limited information. Moreover, considering special configurations of the variance-covariance matrix, adapted to nature of interval data, proves to be the adequate approach. The presented study also makes clear the need to consider both the information about position (conveyed by the MidPoints) and intrinsic variability (conveyed by the Log-Ranges) when analysing interval data. | pt_PT |
