Finding the Number of Clusters in a Dataset

TL;DR: A simple, yet powerful nonparametric method for choosing the number of clusters based on distortion, a quantity that measures the average distance, per dimension, between each observation and its closest cluster center, is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article , a two-stage genome-wide association study of up to 76,755 individuals with schizophrenia and 243,649 control individuals was conducted, and the authors reported common variant associations at 287 distinct genomic loci.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clustering for Sparsely Sampled Functional Data

TL;DR: A flexible model-based procedure for clustering functional data that can be applied to all types of curve data but is particularly useful when individuals are observed at a sparse set of time points is developed.

Principal component models for sparse functional data

TL;DR: In this article, a reduced rank mixed effects framework is proposed to handle the more difficult case where curves are often measured at an irregular and sparse set of time points which can differ widely across individuals.
