Regularized matrix data clustering and its application to image analysis
share
In this paper, we propose a regularized mixture probabilistic model to cluster matrix data and apply it to brain signals. The approach is able to capture the sparsity (low rank, small/zero values) of the original signals by introducing regularization terms into the likelihood function. Through a modified EM algorithm, our method achieves the optimal solution with low computational cost. Theoretical results are also provided to establish the consistency of the proposed estimators. Simulations show the advantages of the proposed method over other existing methods. We also apply the approach to two real datasets from different experiments. Promising results imply that the proposed method successfully characterizes signals with different patterns while yielding insightful scientific interpretation.
